ABSTRACT:
A coping system for parapet is comprised of three separate components, a plurality of cleats, a plurality of chairs and a plurality of caps. The cleats are secured to the parapet at spaced intervals and each cleat supports a corresponding chair. Each cap extends between at least two cleats and chairs. Adjacent caps are spaced from each other forming a gap between the caps with the gap being located directly above the chair. The chair forms a gutter for routing water away from the top of the parapet. The chair biases the cap away from the parapet to maintain the engagement between the cap and the cleat. All three components are made entirely of metal providing a sealed joint between adjacent caps without the use of organic compounds.
