An anchor bolt is embedded horizontally within a concrete masonry unit wall with one inch of minimum grout coverage all around the anchor diameter. The embedment length varies by bolt diameter, requiring a four inch minimum for a one-half inch diameter bolt, a five inch minimum for a five-eighths inch diameter bolt, and a six inch minimum for a three-quarter inch diameter bolt, with a specific note requiring five and three-eighths inches of embedment for an eight-inch concrete masonry unit with a three-quarter inch diameter bolt. Reinforcing is omitted for clarity.
