Installation Guide

Note: Wire reinforcing is always installed at
top of rst course, at top of the next to last course
and 16” on center in between.
D. Set the rst block and last block of the next row into
the side channels on top of the
“FLAT” spacers.
E. Install the remaining blocks in the row in the same
manner as the rst row.
• Apply 3/8" to 1/2" of mortar to the edge of each
block that meets a previous block. Apply mortar
to both edges of the last block installed in the row.
• Be sure to insert “REGULAR” spacers with the cross
arm down, where two blocks meet.
• Push the blocks rmly in place, forming 1/4"
mortar joints. Make sure the joints are completely
lled with mortar.
• Remove excess mortar with a polyfoam brush,
and ll any voids on both sides of the panel.
• Check periodically to ensure that the blocks are
straight, level and plumb. Adjust as needed.
F. Repeat Steps 6A - 6E to install each row of block,
except for the next to last row.
