SUBMITTAL SHEET: NO. 365 TRASH MORTAR DIVERTERTM
AND TEST DATA
The trash mortar diverter creates a trash mortar collector and acts as a moisture and
air flow control system. It stops and collects trash mortar and holds it away from the
face brick and the back-up walls. The V-Shape funnels moisture toward the center of the
cavity, away from the back side of the face brick and the face of the back-up wall, then
downward through three rows of holes to a weep system. (For weep systems see Products No. 366 Cavity Vent Weep System and No. 367
Core Cavity Vent Weep System.)
|
Rigid 3/16" corrugated pattern stops trash mortar
from accumulating at the bottom of the cavity and clogging weep holes.
V-shaped pattern encapsulates trash mortar.
V-shaped pattern funnels moisture toward the center
of the cavity.
Mortar Diverter fits cavities from 1/2" to 3".
Mortar Diverter can be installed at varying elevations
in the cavity.
Corrugated pattern allows for air flow on both sides
of the Mortar Diverter.
Easily trimmed and field fabricated with a common utility
knife.
Manufactured from Recycled material that is inexpensive,
readily available, and provides a positive environmental impact

Installation: Insert Mortar Diverter into the cavity with
"V" pointed in a downward position with the short edge to the outside of the
building. Overlap the ends approximately 1" (25 mm). Field fabricate with a common
utility knife.

1.22 m long) - Bundled 10 pcs per bundle (40 ft) and boxed 50 pcs (200 lin ft) per box.
TEST REPORT
Two double wythe cavity walls were constructed in accordance with ASTM E 514 requirements.
The test walls consisted of clay face brick, a cavity utilizing the #365 Trash
Mortar TM Diverter and the No. 366 Cavity Vent TM Weep System,
and a six-inch CMU back-up. The wall was constructed on an inverted steel channel, and the
bottom course was laid on a bed of mortar. Full bedded mortar joints were used, and the
walls were constructed one course at a time by applying mortar the full length of the bed
joint, then buttering the ends of a brick and a CMU one at a time before setting on the
bed joint. The walls were cured according to ASTM E 514-90 which requires curing for 7
days enclosed in plastic sheeting and for a minimum of 7 days subsequent curing in
laboratory air. The total curing time for the walls was 14 days.
ASTM E 514-90 test procedures were followed throughout the tests. The
test chambers were constructed of welded aluminum angle stock, and the observation face of
the chamber was outfitted with Lexan sheet to allow full view into the chamber. All
fixtures were in conformity with ASTM E 514-90, Section 4. Each frame was outfitted with a
manometer to measure interior pressure and a flow meter to monitor the amount of flow.
During the testing, the frame was pressurized to 10 psf, and the water flow was adjusted
to 40.8 gal/hr which is equal to 3.4 gal/ft2/hr. The units were held in place
with clamps, and a closed cell foam gasket material and silicone caulking provided the
proper tight seal. To facilitate a tight seal, the test frame was attached to the clay
brick making this the exposed face.
