An eight-inch concrete masonry unit wall plan view details horizontal reinforcing bars and single three-quarter-inch maximum diameter conduit placement within block cells. Vertical conduits are positioned in cells lacking vertical reinforcement wherever possible and wired to continuous horizontal bars to maintain alignment during grout pours. Horizontal conduits are prohibited, and aluminum components are excluded from masonry construction to prevent galvanic corrosion. Block cell configurations shown serve as a reference and actual block geometry may vary.
