inch space between the water-resistive barrier and the exterior veneer, and integrated flashings as
required in R703.8. The required space shall be formed by the use of any non-corrodible furring
strip, drainage mat or drainage board. The envelope shall provide proper. int~ation dfflashi),gs') .-
with the water-resistive barrier, the space provided and the exterior veneer. These components, in
conjunction, shall provide a means of draining water that enters the assembly to the exterior.
Exce. ptions: .\ ". _.', J , ,
,~ t" \~.
1. A space is not required where the exterior veneer is installed over a water-resistive barrier
complying with section R703.2 which is manufactured in a manner to enhance drainage an~
meets the 75% drainage efficiency requirement of ASTM E2273 or other recognized
national standards.
2. A space is not required where window sills are equipped with. pan flashings which drain to
the exterior surface of the veneer i~ a through wall fashion: All piln'f1a~hi;'gs.shall be :' '
detailed within the cpnstruction documents and shall be of either a self-adhering - l -
membrane complying with AAMA 711-07 or of an approved corrosion-resistant material or
a combination thereof. Self-adhering membranes extending to'the exterior surface of the
veneer shall be concealed with trims or other measures to protect from sunlight.
3. A space is not required where the exterior veneer is manufactured in a manner to enhance
drainage and meets the 75% drainage effiCiency requirements of ASTM E2273 or other
recognized national standards and is installed over a water resistive barrier complying with
section R703.2.
4. A space is not required where the exterior veneer is matching an existing exterior finish as
in additions, alterations, or repairs.
5. A water-resistant exterior wall envelope shall not be required over concrete or masonry

6. Compliance with the requirements for a means of drainage; and the requirements of '
Section R703.2 and Section R703.8, shall not be required for an exterior walLenvelope that
". \ ~
has been demonstrated to resist wind-driven rain through testing of the exterior wall
envelope, including joints, penetrations and intersectio.ns with dissimilar materials, in
accordance with ASTM E 331 under the following conditions: ,\' ,'_ ~,\ .
6.1. Exterior wall envelope test assemblies shall include at least one opeQmg: oneco~trol i
joint, one wall/eave interface and one wall sill. All tested openings and penetrations
shall be representative of the intended end-use configuration.
6.2. Exterior wall envelope test assemblies shall be at least 4 feet by 8 feet in size.
6.3:. Exterior wall assemblies shall be tested at a minimum differential pressure of 6.24
pounds per square foot.
6.4. Exterior wall envelope as?emblies shall be subjected to a minimum test exposure
duration of 2 hours.
The exterior wall envelope design shall be considered to resist wind-driven rain where the
results of the testing indicate that water did not penetrate: control joints in the exterior
wall envelope; joints at the perimeter of openings penetration; or intersections of
terminations with dissimilar materials.
