Pemko 346C Aluminum Overhead Rain Drip - Clear Anodized

The Pemko 346C is a heavy-duty Commercial Overhead Rain Drip Guard engineered to protect exterior doorways from water seepage and moisture damage. Mounted directly to the face of the frame header, this Clear Anodized Aluminum drip cap features a significant 2-1/2" projection that effectively channels driving rain, snow, and condensation away from the top of the door. By redirecting water flow off the building's face, the 346C prevents "mysterious" leaks and extends the lifespan of your door, frame, and hardware.

High-Performance & Weatherproofing Features

• Deep 2-1/2" Projection: Offers superior protection compared to narrower models, ensuring water is cast well away from the threshold and the 2" gap under the header.
• Integrated Slotted Holes: Punched with slotted mounting holes to allow for precise horizontal adjustment during installation, ensuring a perfectly centered and level fit on the frame.
• Fire & Safety Certified: Rigorously tested and UL 10C Positive Pressure Fire Rated and UL 4L10 Smoke/Draft Rated, making it code-compliant for high-traffic commercial and institutional exits.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality extruded aluminum with a Clear Anodized (C) finish that resists corrosion and maintains a professional aesthetic.
• Versatile Application: While primarily used as an overhead rain drip, its robust design can also be utilized as a wide-profile weatherstrip for unique sealing requirements.

Pro-Tip for Professional Installation

Professional door installers "swear by" the Pemko 346 series because it solves water intrusion issues that standard weatherstripping cannot reach. For a "bulletproof" seal against wind-driven rain, apply a liberal bead of clear polyurethane caulk to the back of the flange before driving your screws. This creates a gasket between the drip cap and the frame, preventing water from "sneaking" behind the metal. Note that the 346C is specifically for the frame header; for a rain drip that attaches to the door bottom itself, the narrower Pemko 345 is the recommended companion product.
