Weep Screed And T1-11

Has anyone here ever used weep screed under T1-11 plywood siding?

Not code required, but also won't hurt a thing.

I have a plan checker cite a CBC section saying it's code required. I drew it in to make him happy but I have never seen it . The section he cited was from the 2001 CBC section 2506a.5(2).

That's freaking retarded. That whole section is for stucco. I think the (possibly underpaid) plan reviewer was thinking stucco.

Quote:
2606A.5 Application of Metal Plaster Bases. The applicationof metal lath or wire fabric lath shall be as specified in Section 2505A.3 and they shall be furred out from vertical supports orbacking not less than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) except as set forth in Table25A-B, Footnote 2.

Where exterior lath is attached to horizontal wood supports, either of the following attachments shall be used in addition to the methods of attachment set forth in Table 25A-C:

1. Secure lath to alternate supports with ties consisting of adouble strand of No. 18 W & M gage galvanized annealed wire at one edge of each sheet of lath. Wire ties shall be installed not less than 3 inches (76 mm) back from the edge of each sheet and shall be looped around stripping, or attached to an 8d common wire nail driven into each side of the joist 2 inches (51 mm) above the bottom of the joist or to each end of a 16d common wire nail driven horizontally through the joist 2 inches (51 mm) above the bottom of the joist and the ends of the wire secured together with three twists of the wire.

2. Secure lath to each support with 1/2-inch-wide (12.7 mm), 1-1/2-inch-long (38mm) No. 9W&M gage ring shank, hook staple placed around a 10d common nail laid flat under the surface of the lath not more than 3 inches (76 mm) from edge of each sheet. Such staples may be placed over ribs of 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) rib lath or over back wire of welded wire fabric or other approved lath, omitting the 10d nails.


A weep screed shall be provided at the foundation plate line on all exterior stud walls. The screed shall be of a type which will allow trapped water to drain to the exterior of the building. The weather-resistant barrier and exterior lath shall cover and terminate on the attachment flange of the screed.

Weep screed is a stucco detail, and should not be required or needed for anything else.
