Plastic Components, style 2201, is a surface-mounted “J” bead used in the Direct Applied finish system.  The “J” Bead will protect the bottom edge of the sheathing board and eliminate the need for costly back wrapping. It has a wide return flange with striations and perforations for the positive bond of the base coat to the casing bead and the surface of the sheathing material. It also has a built-in 1/8″ (3 mm) stop to ensure the proper thickness of the base and finish.
Plastic Component has designed these products specifically for direct applied finish (DEFS) systems to protect and ensure straight corners. These products include casing beads for raw cut edges and wide flange “L” beads for adjusting to uneven cut boards. It also includes starter tracks that eliminate the need for expensive back wrapping, control joints to relieve movement, vents that enhance airflow in soffit areas, and decorative reveals just for good looks.
Field-engineered to save time and provide integrity to the directly applied finish system. Plastic Components manufactures them with exterior grade, lead-free PVC material conforming to ASTM standard D “J1784.
