13-5/8" (340 mm) and 15-5/8" (390 mm) Concrete Masonry Units

These concrete masonry units can be used above and below grade for a wide variety of applications. Below grade these units allow adequate width for a standard loadbearing wall, insulation and veneer. Above grade these units are used for walls in large buildings such as schools, stores and warehouse facilities.

The units shown are usually made in two compartments of a 7-5/8"

(190 mm) mold by removing one inside division plate and spacing the cavity to the desired width. The core assembly is on a double core plate allowing use of a standard 7-5/8" (190 mm) wide mold top plate and cutoff parts.
