A flashing and drainage system for use in cavity wall construction,
including a flashing member is sized and shaped to be received within a
cavity of the wall and over a base member. The flashing member includes a
lower flashing portion and an upper flashing portion. The system includes
a water permeable body disposed on the flashing member including a
plurality of weep tabs extending on the lower flashing portion and spaced
apart to correspond to weep holes formed through the wall and a plurality
of porous bodies positioned on the upper flashing portion. The water
permeable body has a porosity sufficient to permit water to pass
therethrough but substantially insufficient to permit mortar and debris
to pass therethrough.
