tolerances for wall sheathing
tolerances for wall sheathing
(OP)
Can anyone assist me in finding information about allowable deviation from plane, or tolerances from plumb for plywood wall sheathing? I live in Florida, and I'm looking for a standard that applies. I've heard 1/4" in ten feet as a rule of thumb

FL Code 2314.2 Workmanship. Wood construction shall be in conformance with the tolerances, quality and methods of construction as prescribed by the standards in Chapter 35 of this code. Which was just a reference list
Ctcray linked, Residential Construction Performance Guidelines, 2nd edition by NAHB, "4-1 Performance Guideline: Wood framed walls shall not be more than 3/8 inch out of plumb for any 32 inches in any vertical measurement."
NACHI.ORG may have some info

That has more to do with the supporting framing than the wall sheathing. I can't see sheathing causing the wall to be out of plumb.
