AMICO GRIPLOCK "J" EXPANSION/CONTROL JOINT (J TYPE)
This product provides excellent expansion control for both walls and ceilings like the AMICO expansion/control joint, but offers positive locking of the stucco to the edge of the joint. This helps to reduce stucco separation at the edge of the joint. Note: stucco must be forced under the rounded flange. This joint also provides for the basic expansion and contraction that can be expected in the stucco membrane, such as initial shrinkage during curing, and minor thermal expansion and contraction. Removable tape provides for easy joint cleaning. Overall width is nominal 4 inches. Available in galvanized steel or zinc alloy, in 10 ft. lengths. Packaging 24 pieces, 240 feet per ctn.

2-PIECE EXPANSION JOINT
(NUMBER 40 TYPE)
This accessory is a two piece male/female joint that is used to accommodate more movement than a single piece joint. It also allows for movement in two directions. This joint is generally used at through wall expansions with double studs or where there is a transition from one type of framing to another (example CMU's to wood framing). Flashing should always be used behind this joint and ASTM C1063 should dictate installation procedures. Joint opening is adjustable from ¼" to 5/8". Available in 10 ft. lengths, 15 pieces, 150 feet per ctn.

Note: Flashing should be applied in the form of asphalt-saturated construction paper or flashing strips behind all expansion joints and all joints should be imbedded in caulk. AMICO recommends the use of galvanized lath and either zinc alloy or vinyl accessories for all exterior stucco applications. See ASTM C 1063 for installation information.
