Available Sizes:
80 lb. (36.3 kg) Bag
Coverage
Yields approximately
Ҁ of a cubic foot of
wet grout per 80 lb. (36.3 kg) bag. For
concrete block, this will fill about 4 cores
in a 12” unit or about 5.5 cores in an 8”
unit.
Preparation:
Always remove all loose and unsound
materials. Store product in dry, covered
area and protect from weather and other
damage.
Mixing
Core Fill Masonry Grout requires only the
addition of water. A mechanical mixer
should be used to mix Core Fill Masonry
Grout to best ensure consistency and
flowability. Add Ҁ of a gallon of water for
each 80 lb. (36.3 kg) bag. Mix the product
for 5 minutes in a mortar paddle mixer or
a concrete drum mixer. The slump must
be 8”-11” (200-280 mm) to comply with
ASTM C476 and local building codes.
Application
Core Fill Masonry Grout may be placed by
hand or by mechanical delivery. It should
be consolidated upon placement and
reconsolidated before initial set.
To place by hand, dump grout into a
mortar tub from the mechanical mixer.
The product can then be transferred from
the mortar tub to a 5 gallon bucket, then
placed into the cores of the wall. Vibrate
the grout in order to consolidate and refill
in accordance with local building code
requirements.
Coarse grout may be used in spaces
between brick masonry, two inches or
more in horizontal dimensions where no
horizontal steel is in the grout space, and
in the cores of block that are four inches
or more in both horizontal dimensions. If
the cavity is smaller than above, a fine
grout should be considered.
Clean Up
Typically water will satisfactorily clean
tools after using Core Fill Masonry Grout.
If the material has begun to harden, warm
soapy water may be helpful for cleaning
hands and tools.
