Intent 1:
To limit the probability of:
- an inability to shed water effectively, or
- a chemical reaction between aluminum flashing and stucco,
which could lead to the accelerated deterioration of aluminum flashing
material, which could lead to an inability to shed water.
This is to limit the probability of:
- precipitation or meltwater ingress, which could lead
to deterioration, which could lead to the structural failure of exterior
walls or elements protected by exterior walls, or
- stucco detaching and falling from the building.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
Intent 2:
To direct Code users to Subsections 9.27.3. and 9.27.4., which contain requirements for the materials, location, and installation
of flashing and caulking for stucco.
