Weep Holes on exam

Hey all, I’m studying for my state exam and trying to figure out what questions I missed on the practice test. So weep holes are to be spaced no further than 33 inches correct? I answered 36 and I’m wondering if that is a question I missed. Thanks

PS…I do really wish Internachi would show us the questions we missed :slight_smile:

That would make it too easy. InterNachi will show correct and wrong answers when taking certification tests.

Right but here’s the question:

Weep holes may be installed every ____ inches at the bottom of a brick exterior wall

I don’t remember the answer choices exactly but they were like 12, 24, 36 or 72. 36 seems like the more logical answer but not sure if that was correct or not.

If the maximum spacing is 33” then I would go with 24 as my answer

Thank you!

33" is based on using modular brick size of 8" plus joints.
Any other brick size will have a different spacing.
