Question

Wood furring strips over wood framing shall be _____ minimum size for nail-on application.

A. 1" x 1"
B. 1" x 2"
C. 1" x 3"
D. 2" x 2"

Answer 1

The correct minimum size for nail-on application of wood furring strips over wood framing is 1" x 2".

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct minimum size for nail-on application of wood furring strips over wood framing is 1" x 2". The dimensions of furring strips are typically specified as the width by the thickness. In this case, the furring strips should be 1 inch wide and 2 inches thick.

Using a larger size, such as 1" x 3" or 2" x 2", would be unnecessary and may result in additional weight and cost without providing any significant benefits for the application.
