DonTx Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Does anyone have illustrations of the proper way to seal penetrations through Stucco exterior? I know how it's suppose to be done, but both my SMA manual and my TLPCA manual do not have illustration details for things like exterior outlets, light fixtures, gas lines, etc. The EIFS part does, but I'd be called on the carpet in no time for using those!!! Thanks All,
mgbinspect Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Your best bet may be Architectutal Graphics Standards, a great book. Unfortunately, I'm out in the field.
hausdok Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Hi, If you've got the SMA manual you need to look at General Details. In there, you'll find diagrams for how to do Expansion Joint Patch/Infill joints Balcony Railings Glass Block Horizontal Pipe Railings Sloped Sills Hose Bibs Stucco Wall Penetrations It will depend on what you're trying to seal and at what stage you are trying to do it.

DonTx Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks Mike, I've done checked that section out. What I need is the details for the exterior outlets and recessed lights.
hausdok Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Hi, It's right there at the first diagram. That is the technique used - they just don't bother to show you receptacles and recessed lights. Basically casing bead backer rod with a fillet of caulk. OT - OF!!! M.
Bob White Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Excuse my possible oldtimer moment, but what does the acronym SMA mean in "SMA Manual" ??
hausdok Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 SMA = Stucco Manufacturers Association
mgbinspect Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Lol... Bob, you beat me at the punch and I was going to word my question pretty much as you did! Lol. I had no idea the Stucco industry had their own organization or manual. I bet that came about with EIFS. It used to simply be a part of masonry. SMA manual... I want one! I LOVE my BIA and NCMA Tech Notes manuals. They are amazing.
hausdok Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Hi, The SMA adopted the Northwest Wall & Ceiling Bureau's Stucco Guide about 4-5 years ago. NWCB has been around for about half a century and their guide, now SMA's guide, is the standard for 3-coat stucco. OT - OF!!! M.
mgbinspect Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Pretty neat! I'm going to try to dig one up. You had to "know someone" to get the BIA and NCMA manuals. They pretty much reserved them for manufacturers. I just got lucky.
hausdok Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Hi, That's easy to do. Go here: http://www.stuccomfgassoc.com/about.html click on "About Stucco" at the top of the page and click th second item and you can order it off their site. OT - OF!!! M.
