Roofing drip edge device and a method of installing a roofing drip edge device

A roofing drip edge device comprising:

• a drip edge comprising (i) an upper drip edge that is configured to be installed along an edge of a roofing surface, (ii) a lower drip edge that is approximately at a right angle to the upper drip edge, the lower drip edge configured to be attached to a continuous hook strip installed on the roofing surface, (iii) a first side edge, (iv) a second side edge that is opposite to the first side edge, and (v) a bond breaker element that is attached to one of the first side edge or the second side edge of the drip edge;
• a flashing strip member having (i) an upper edge, (ii) a lower edge that is opposite to the upper edge, (iii) a first side edge, and (iv) a second side edge that is opposite to the first side edge, wherein the flashing strip member is secured to the upper drip edge of the drip edge along at least the lower edge of the flashing strip member, such that the first side edge of the flashing strip member extends past the first side edge of the drip edge to provide a portion of the flashing strip member that overhangs the first side edge of the drip edge;
• and
• a connecting member having (i) an upper edge, (ii) a lower edge, (iii) a first side edge, and (iv) a second side edge that is opposite to the first side edge, wherein at least a portion of the first side edge of the connecting member is secured to the drip edge along the second side edge of the drip edge, such that the second side edge of the connecting member extends past the second side edge of the drip edge to provide a portion of the connecting member that overhangs the second side edge of the drip edge.

A method comprising:

• obtaining a first roofing drip edge device that includes:
• a drip edge comprising (i) an upper drip edge that is configured to be installed along an edge of a roofing surface, (ii) a lower drip edge that is approximately at a right angle to the upper drip edge, the lower drip edge configured to be attached to a continuous hook strip installed on the roofing surface, (iii) a first side edge, (iv) a second side edge that is opposite to the first side edge, and (v) a bond breaker element that is attached to one of the first side edge or the second side edge of the drip edge,
• a flashing strip member having (i) an upper edge, (ii) a lower edge that is opposite to the upper edge, (iii) a first side edge, and (iv) a second side edge that is opposite to the first side edge, wherein the first side edge of the flashing strip member extends past the first side edge of the drip edge to provide a portion of the flashing strip member that overhangs the first side edge of the drip edge, and
• a connecting member having (i) an upper edge, (ii) a lower edge, (iii) a first side edge, and (iv) a second side edge that is opposite to the first side edge, wherein the second side edge of the connecting member extends past the second side edge of the drip edge to provide a portion of the connecting member that overhangs the second side edge of the drip edge;
• attaching the first roofing drip edge device to the roofing surface;
• and
• attaching at least the upper edge of the flashing strip member to the roofing surface.
