Designation:E226611Standard Guide forDesign and Construction of Low-Rise Frame Building WallSystems to Resist Water Intrusion1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2266;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide describes design,specification,selection,installation,and inspection of new building wall systems,exterior deck and stair components,doors,windows,penetra-tions and sealant joints of wood and metal frame buildings,typically four stories or less,to minimize water intrusion.1.2 This guide does not address prevention of damagecaused by water originating from the use of wet buildingmaterials or from indoor or outdoor humidity.Water from thesesources can be important,and the potential for damage causedby water from these sources must not be overlooked in buildingdesign or construction.1.3 This guide does not address roofing systems,exceptwhen the surface of a deck also serves as a roof and at locationswhere roof systems interface with building walls.1.4 This guide does not address any type of barrier wallsystem.1.5 This guide does not address any exterior insulation andfinish system(EIFS).1.6 This guide does not address foundation conditionswhere the bottom of a slab on grade or the grade of a crawlspace is at or below the water table or subject to hydrostaticpressure.1.7 This guide is intended to supplement and not duplicatebuilding code requirements.1.8 Maintenance,although important,is not covered indetail.1.9 Application of finishes,such as paint and sealers,maybe important in the performance of some types of cladding;however,this is not covered in detail.1.10 This guide applies only to constructions withsheathing,which facilitates installation of the weather-resistivebarrier and associated flashings in a common plane.1.11 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to inch-pound units that are provided for informa-tion only and are not considered standard.1.12 This standard may involve hazardous materials,operations,and equipment.This standard does not purport toaddress all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with itsuse.It is the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish appropriate safety and health practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.1.13 Organization of Document:SectionScope1Referenced Documents2Terminology3Summary of Guide4Significance and Use5General Design Principles6Design Practices7General Guidelines8Drainage Walls9Drainage WallsGeneral9.1Drainage Wall CladdingPortland Cement Plaster(Stucco)9.2Drainage Wall CladdingWood and Wood-DerivedProducts9.3Drainage Wall CladdingVinyl Siding9.4Drainage Wall CladdingFiber-Cement Siding9.5Cavity Drainage Walls10Cavity Drainage WallsGeneral10.1Cavity Drainage Wall CladdingMasonry10.2Wood Framed Decks and Stairs with Exposed Framingand Decking11Plaza Decks or Stairs with Enclosed Framing and aWaterproofing Membrane with Separate WearingSurfaces12Plaza Decks or Stairs with Enclosed Framing and aWaterproofing Membrane with an Integral WearingSurface13Windows,Doors,and Similar Wall Penetrations14Special Wall Configuration15Exterior Sealant Joints16Keywords171This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Performanceof Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.55 on ExteriorBuilding Wall Systems.Current edition approved Feb.1,2011.Published June 2011.Originally approvedin 2004.Last previous version approved in 2004 as E2266 04.DOI:10.1520/E2266-11.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 SectionAppendixAdditional ResourcesAppendixX1AppendixGeneral Notes for Cement Plaster(Stucco)DetailsAppendixX22.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A153/A153M Specification for Zinc Coating(Hot-Dip)onIron and Steel HardwareC11 Terminology Relating to Gypsum and Related BuildingMaterials and SystemsC43 Terminology of Structural Clay Products(Withdrawn2009)3C55 Specification for Concrete Building BrickC62 Specification for Building Brick(Solid Masonry UnitsMade From Clay or Shale)C67 Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Brick andStructural Clay TileC90 Specification for Loadbearing Concrete Masonry UnitsC126 Specification for Ceramic Glazed Structural Clay Fac-ing Tile,Facing Brick,and Solid Masonry UnitsC150 Specification for Portland CementC168 Terminology Relating to Thermal InsulationC216 Specification for Facing Brick(Solid Masonry UnitsMade from Clay or Shale)C270 Specification for Mortar for Unit MasonryC652 Specification for Hollow Brick(Hollow MasonryUnits Made From Clay or Shale)C717 Terminology of Building Seals and SealantsC755 Practice
