Quick Overview

FEATURES

• Pans, integrated weep spouts and connector bridges made from high-density polypropylene


• All 7" x 14" drainage mats made of 90% open weave polyester mesh


• Factory-installed 90% open weave polyester mesh insect guards keep insects out of the block cells


• Available for 6", 8", 10", and 12" standard or insulated concrete masonry units


• Snap-off connector bridge allows fast and easy pan installation in reinforced wall systems and at corners


• Integrated alignment lip on weep spout makes it fast and easy to accurately align flashing pans with block face


• Drip spouts include a 45-degree drip edge to deflect moisture away from the wall and help prevent water marks and efflorescence


• Sloped pans with integrated edge flanges catch and funnel water to the weep spouts


BENEFITS

• Complete flashing solution requiring no additional components


• Lightweight, fast and easy to install


• Requires no fasteners or adhesives


• Applicable in all CMU wall flashing locations, including base of wall, parapet walls, and above bond beams, wall openings and structural steel members


• Cuts labor and material costs associated with using membrane flashing in a multi-wythe course by approximately 50%


• Eliminates the need for multiple architectural CMU sizes typical with through-wall flashing


• Helps prevent costly call-backs and repairs due to damage caused by moisture in the block cores


• Helps protect builders and designers from legal issues resulting from moisture damage


• Helps prevent mortar damming and provides multiple pathways for water to flow to the flashing pan and out the weeps


• Insect guard prevents damage related to insects entering the wall through the weeps


• Maintains 1" mortar bond between courses and provides a flexural bond strength 10-times stronger than standard through-wall membrane flashing for greater wall integrity


• Will not degrade, oxidize, or react with other common building materials


• 40% pre-consumer recycled content of pans and drainage mat helps with LEED certification


• Light weight and compact shape means convenient shipping, handling and storage
