1/4" removable leg provides a clean, stucco-free caulk gap

Assures efficient caulk seal for optimal moisture protection.

Application(s): Stucco, Stone Veneer

1/4" removable leg provides a clean, stucco-free caulk gap.  A clean 1/4" x 1/4" caulk gap assures the most efficient caulk seal for optimal moisture protection.

  • Separation of Dissimilar Materials - Properly terminates stucco and mortar at window and door frames.
  • Sealant Compatibility - Closed-cell backer rod compatible with elastomeric and other cold-applied sealants.
