Abstract
A coping or fascia assembly for a flat or raised building roof edge, parapet wall, cant dam, gravel stop or the like resiliently maintains the coping or fascia assembly in a tight-fitting interlocking installation and has a locator member beneath the coping or fascia cap for maintaining at least a portion of the outer coping cap in a predetermined cross-sectional shape and in an accurate alignment between adjacent sections of the coping cap. The locator member has a free-floating side edge in order to allow it to yield during installation of the coping or fascia cap. The preferred triangular locator member is generally symmetrical with respect to a line normal to the face of the wall, dam stop or other raised roof protrusion. The coping assembly is quicker, easier, and less costly to install than prior such structures and provides enhanced protection for interior or underlying components or structures.
