Preparation
Preparing the Wall
The wall sleeve should be installed during construction and lintels should be used to support the
block above the wall sleeve. The wall sleeve will not support the concrete block or brick. The wall
sleeve is modular in height and width:
•
Height; fits 2 courses of concrete block.
–
Fits 6 courses of standard brick.
–
Fits 5 courses of jumbo brick.
•
Width; fits approximately 3 stud spaces.
For existing construction, wall openings must be made. Wall openings of the proper dimensions
are essential to avoid the necessity of fillers or additional framing.
