(Specification)Standard Specification for Welded Wire Lath
Standard Specification for Welded Wire Lath
ABSTRACT
This specification covers welded wire lath, flat or self-furring, with or without backing, designed for use as a base to receive Portland cement-based interior plaster and exterior stucco. Welded wire lath shall be fabricated from cold-drawn, galvanized steel wire, conforming to the referenced specification. The wire shall be zinc-coated and the backling shall be attached to the lath to prevent accidental removal during shipping, handling, or installation. The thickness of the embedment of the lath and plaster shall be measured from the back plane of the back wire, exclusive for furring, to the backing or surface of the substrate.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers welded wire lath, flat or self-furring, with or without backing, designed for use as a base to receive portland cement-based interior plaster and exterior stucco.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
