Product story

About 8″ Bond Beam Block

Manufactured by Universal in Tampa, the 8-inch Bond Beam Block is shaped to accommodate horizontal reinforcement with rebar and grout. Review its actual dimensions in the product drawing. Its purpose is different from a standard full-length block, so identify it separately in the masonry order.

Coordinate bond-beam locations and reinforcement with the project drawings before confirming quantities. The product description does not replace the engineered wall specification or establish a load rating. For the remaining units in the wall, compare masonry block shapes and ask Universal for product-specific documentation and current supply details.
