Preparation
During progress of work all weep tubes shall be protected from damage and should be free of oil, dirt and concrete spatter. Weep Tubes should be kept free from internal obstructions. Broken or damaged weep tubes should not be used. Care should be taken during mortar placement to prevent excessive movement of the weep tubes to insure against displacement. Always thoroughly and systematically inspect mortar around the weep tubes to make certain that the weep tube is free from obstruction.

The location and embedment of the weep tubes shall be as shown on the drawings or called for in the specifications. BoMetals Weep Tubes are manufactured from clear rigid PVC.
