SYSTEM 6

3 5/8" brick veneer

1" air space

4" Wood Studs

This system is most likely to be a residential application. Since 4 inches of unreinforced brick masonry will allow some water to penetrate, we design the system to manage the entrant water. A clean airspace provides a space for water to drain down where it can be directed to the exterior at flashing locations. The veneer is anchored to the wood backup using corrugated veneer ties nailed into wood studs @ one tie per 2.67ft2. More anchors are required around openings larger than 16 inches in any dimension - see anchor notes below.
