initial rates of absorption (suction) of more than 30 g per 30 sq. in. per min. (30 g per 194 sq. cm
per min.). Use wetting methods that ensure units are nearly saturated but surface dry when laid.
Maintain joint width for replacement units to match existing units.
1. Tool exposed mortar joints In repaired areas to match joints of surrounding existing
brickwork.
2. Rake out mortar used for laying brick before mortar sets and point new mortar joints in
repaired area to comply with requirements for repointing existing masonry.
3.05 INSTALLATION
A. General
1. Build walls to the full thickness shown. Build single wythe walls to the actual
thickness of the masonry units, using units of nominal thickness shown.
2. Build chases and recesses as shown or required for the work of other trades.
3. Leave openings for equipment to be installed before completion of masonry work.
After installation of equipment, complete masonry work to match work
immediately adjacent to the opening.
B. Mortar Bedding and Jointing
1. All joints between bricks shall be complexly filled with mortar. Bed joints shall be
formed of a thick layer of smooth or slightly furrowed mortar applied to the units
• previously laid, with the brick then shoved in place; or bed joints may be formed
as specified for cross joints. Cross joints shall be formed by applying a full coat
of mortar to the entire end or the entire side, as the case requires, and then
shoving the mortar covered end and/or side of the brick tightly against the bricks
previously laid; the practice of buttering the corners of brick and then throwing
mortar scraping into the empty joints will not be permitted. All brick shall be laid
without disturbing the brick previously laid. Dry or butt joints will not be permitted.
Grouting shall be done only as necessary. Do not slush head joints.
2. Lay concrete masonry units with full mortar coverage on horizontal and vertical
face shells. Bed webs in mortar in starting course on exterior walls and in all
coursed of piers, columns and pilasters, and where adjacent to cells or cavities to
be reinforced or filled with concrete or grout.
a. To ensure alignment of brick and block coursing, adjust block back-up by
cutting block to insure alignment of coursing or use adjustable
anchorage.
3. Lay masonry walls with 3/8" joints unless otherwise required to match existing of
face brick construction.
4. Tool exposed joints slightly concave. Concealed joints shall be struck flush.
5. Remove masonry units disturbed after laying; clean and reset mortar. Do not
pound comers at jambs to fit stretcher units which have been set in position. If
adjustments are required, remove units, clean off mortar and reset in fresh
mortar.
