Code Description:
Chapter: Chapter 9 Roof Assemblies
Section: R905.2.8.5 Drip Edge
Topic: Applicability of section R905.2.8.5 to shingle as well as other roof coverings where the drip edge serves the same function.
Question: Since underlayment and drip edge flashing is used with asphalt shingles as well as many other roof coverings, and serves the same function in all of these roof systems, should paragraph R905.2.8.5 of the sixth edition (2017) of the Florida Residential Building Code be interpreted to mean that the installation instructions of paragraph R205.2.8.5 must be followed regardless of roof covering, when drip edge is used with underlayment in a roofing system?

No, this section applies to asphalt shingles. metal roof panels comply with 905.10, the product approval and the manufacturer's installation manual
