3.0 DESCRIPTION
Wraptor Weather Resistive Barrier consists of a perforated,
microporous, woven polyolefin fabric, with an additional
polyolefin coating on the exterior side. The product is 0.004
inch thick (0.11mm) and is available in rolls with widths
ranging from 3 feet to 10 feet (0.92 m to 3.05 m) and in
lengths ranging from 30 feet to 195 feet (9.1 m to 59.4 m).

Wraptor Weather Resistive Barrier must be installed after
wall framing is completed and before windows and doors
are installed. The roll must be placed a minimum of
6 inches (152 mm) from the starting corner and fastened to
the sheathing with corrosion-resistant nails having
minimum 1-inch-diameter (25.4 mm) plastic washer heads
or cap heads, spaced at a maximum of 16 inches
(406 mm) on center, or corrosion-resistant staples with
minimum 1-inch (25.4 mm) crowns, spaced a maximum of
12 inches (305 mm) on center; and must then be unrolled
around the building and fastened with nails spaced at a
maximum of 16 inches (406 mm) on center or staples
spaced a maximum of 12 inches (305 mm) on center. The
printed side of the product must be installed facing the
outside. A minimum of 8 inches (203 mm) of overlap must
be provided for vertical seams and 4 inches (102 mm) for
horizontal seams, except where the manufacturer’s
published installation instructions specify a greater overlap.
When used over wood-based sheathing in exterior plaster
applications, the product must be applied over the
sheathing in accordance with IBC Section 2510.6 or IRC
Section R703.6.3, using two layers of the product or using
one layer together with an intervening, substantially non-
water-absorbing layer or drainage space. For cementitious
coatings or exterior insulation and finish systems,
application must be in accordance with the evaluation
report on the exterior coating.
