Weep hole installation for stucco

In order to join two pieces of weep at the corner of a wall, you will want to cut 45 degree angles at an outside or inside angle, depending on which type of corner you are up against. There are a couple of ways to cut corners but I want to keep it simple and minimize confusion, so I chose to go this route.

The process is the same for both inside and outside corners, the angles that you end up cutting are just mirrored. You would cut an outside corner with a normal 45 degree angle and an inside one with a 45 degree angle going the opposite way. From this mark, make a line to the back flange at a 45 degree angle like the picture shows.

First, cut the small lip in the front straight down and then continue cutting the line you made, along that 45 degree angle. Do this same process on an opposite end of weep screed, so you have two 45 degree angles that align perfectly like this:.

Cut the line you made, the back flange straight up from your line and the small lip on the front. I showed you how to do one side of the weep for an outside corner, now you just need to do the same thing on another piece of weep screed on an opposite end and you have a completed outside corner.
