Rationale

C1877 units are installed in accordance with C1780, Practice for Installation Methods for Cement-based Adhered Masonry Veneer. In addition, the scope of C1877 refers to ‘interior and exterior adhered veneer’. Likewise, C1670, Specification for Adhered Manufactured Stone Masonry Veneer Units, refers to ‘veneer units’. This ballot item proposes adding the word ‘veneer’ in the title of C1877 to clarify their use and to be consistent with other related standards.
