NGP 16SS-40 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How far does the NGP 16SS drip cap project off the face of the door frame?
The profile measures 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches. That gives you a projection deep enough to throw runoff out past the head of the opening rather than letting it sheet down onto the door face and into the top of the weatherstrip. Worth checking against anything mounted above the opening, a closer body, a surface mounted card reader, or a canopy return, before you drill.
2) Is the NGP 16SS drip strip rust resistant enough for an exterior coastal door?
Type 304 stainless steel throughout, and the fasteners supplied with it are stainless too (#6 x 3/4 inch SMS), so there's no plated screw sitting in the rain to bleed rust down the frame. The brushed #4 finish (US32D, 630) holds up outdoors without a coating to chalk or peel.
3) Do I need to order screws separately for an NGP 16SS drip strip?
No, the mounting hardware ships with it. You get #6 x 3/4 inch stainless steel sheet metal screws, which are sized for fastening into a hollow metal frame head or a wood stop. If you're going into masonry or into an aluminum frame with no backing at the head, plan on your own anchors, the supplied SMS is the only fastener included.
4) Can you adjust the height of a drip cap after it's mounted, or is it fixed once you drill?
The 16SS has slotted screw holes rather than round ones, so you can set the screws, slide the strip up or down to line it up with the frame head or the top of the door, and then snug it. That matters most when the frame head isn't level with the door top rail, which is common on a retrofit, and it lets one person set it without re-drilling.
5) What's the difference between a drip cap and a door sweep or head seal, and do I need both?
They do different jobs and most exterior openings use both. A drip strip like the NGP 16SS mounts above the opening and diverts water off the wall before it ever reaches the door, so the gasket at the head isn't sitting in a running sheet of water. The head seal or weatherstrip blocks air and the water that still gets there. A sweep or automatic door bottom handles the threshold. Adding a drip cap is usually what you do when an existing head gasket keeps letting water past on a wind driven rain elevation.
6) Does NGP offer a lead lined version of the 16SS drip strip for an x-ray room door?
Yes, a 1/16 inch thick lead insert is available as an option on the 16SS. On a radiology or imaging suite door the head detail is one of the spots shielding gets broken, so a lead lined cap keeps the continuity across the opening where a plain stainless strip would not. Specify the lead option at the time of order, it isn't something added to a standard strip afterward.
7) Is the NGP 16SS a commercial grade drip strip or is it meant for residential entry doors?
It's specified as commercial. NGP builds the 16SS for hollow metal and commercial aluminum openings in office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail, warehouses and municipal buildings, which is why it's 304 stainless with a 630 finish rather than a painted aluminum extrusion. It works fine on a residential exterior door, it's just heavier than that job needs.
8) Will a brushed stainless drip cap match satin chrome or brushed nickel hardware already on my doors?
The 16SS carries a brushed #4 finish listed as US32D and 630. That's the standard satin stainless designation, so it lines up with 630 push plates, pulls, exit device trim and hinges already on a commercial opening. It won't match a satin chrome 626 finish exactly, 626 is plated brass and reads slightly warmer and shinier, though on an exterior head cap that difference is rarely noticeable from the ground.
