    The document summarizes changes to provisions regarding weep screeds in the Uniform Building Code from 1970 to 1997. It shows that over this period, the requirements evolved from specifying a weep screed at the foundation plate line to requiring a minimum 0.021-inch corrosion-resistant weep screed placed at least 4 inches above grade to allow trapped water to drain outside. It also notes the weep screed must have a 3.5 inch vertical flange covered by the weather-resistive barrier and lath.
