Anchors and Ties
Construction details for the various tie systems used in brick veneer construction are shown in Figs. 3 through 6. There should be one brick veneer tie for every 2% sq ft (0.25 m²) of wall area, a maximum spacing of 24 in. (600 mm) o.c. For one-and two-family wood frame construction, the tie spacing may be modified to one tie for each 314 sq ft (0.30 m²) of wall area with a maximum spacing of 24 in. (600 mm) o.c.
All ties require a minimum embedment depth of 2 in. (50 mm) into the bed joints of the veneer. Ties should be placed so they are completely surrounded by the mortar.
Flashing and Weepholes
Flashing and weepholes should be located above and as near to grade as possible at the bottom of the wall and at all openings so that the wall will drain properly. Weepholes should be spaced no more than 24 in. (600 mm) o.c., and located in the head joints immediately above all flashing. Weepholes formed with wick materials should be a maximum of 16 in. (400 mm) o.c. If the veneer continues below the flashing at the base of
