State Buiiding Officiai � � Subject: Stucco appiication on wood frame structures it has come to our attention, through our investigative section, that some code requirements for exterior plaster (stucco) application are not a(ways being met. We want to bring this to your attention, as it is not a required inspection. When making application for a building permit, which includes stucco application as part of the project, information to verify code compliance should be included with submittal documents. Building Code requirements related to stucco include: • UBC 1402.1. Vertical joints in paper shall be lapped at least 6 inches and horizontal joints shall be lapped at least 2 inches. � . UBC 1402.2. Exterior openings shall be flashed to make them weatherproof. . UBC 2506.4. Weather resistive barriers over wood base sheathing shall include 2 � layers of grade D paper. (See Uniform Building Code Standard 14-1). . UBC 2506.5. A coRosion resistant weep screed with a minimum vertical attachment flange of 3 '/2 inches shall be provided at or below the foundation plate line on all exterior stud walls. The screed must be placed a minimum of 4 inches above the earth or 2 inches above paved areas and shaH be of a type that will allow trapped - .- �-�-=--y��. • water to drain to the exterior of the building. . UBC 2508.1. Stucco must cover, but not extend below, the lath and paper for slab on grade construction. • UBC Table 25 C. Fasteners for metal lath must be 6 inches on center at supports. . UBC 108.7.
