Installing J Channel for CertainTeed Vinyl Siding

The contractor installed the J channels at the base of the vinyl siding walls on my garage. Is this wrong? I thought the starter strip to hold the vinyl siding in place but also push rainwater out to the ground vs the J-channel is a water trap to install at the base of the wall.

Thnx guys

You almost got it I do it in a way that I can cut it all and put it together on the bench all locked together when I make my 45 cut I leave 2 inches of channel to bend over but I leave the face and just snip off the rolled edge so I can slide it into the other piece witch locks the tap in tightly

Very good and simple video 👍

Great j channel precise explanation. Thanks so much.

What keep water from running behind the siding at the bottom of the j-channel on the sides? . If water runs down the j-channel It's got to come out somewhere.

After I cut the first peaceful to length, I used the scrap piece for practice. Very helpful.

The quickest easiet demonstration yet. Thanks.

Nice video, looks easy

Thanks

Nice

Hi

I've watched him cut that notch out 100 times and I can't get it down! I have the same snips but I game make that turn. It looks like I chewed it off

So nice

Do your best and caulk the rest lol

The voice of the guy... sounds like a 50's tv add.

Are the miter cuts out of order?

Not all the information is here. Yes this works for 1" wide J-channel but if you have 2.5" wide you need 5 extra inches not 2 as stated. And the rain tabs and slots are 2.5" each not 1" as stated.

Good job, now I know how that works around my windows

Me siento todo un profesional ya jaja

Shouldnt it be 1.5 inches longer than the window considering the j channel face width is 3/4 inch.

Only problem is that they don't lock together. If you leave an inch & a half or so on the ends & trim the hook off the outter edge, it will slide or snap into the joining piece & lock together.
Like a pro yo!
