altered to accommodate inch-pound CMU products either horizontally
or vertically. The 100 mm building module shall be maintained,
except for the CMU products themselves.
b.
Mortar joint widths shall be maintained as specified.
c. Rebars shall not be cut, bent or eliminated to fit into the
inch-pound CMU products module.
d. Brick and inch-pound CMU products shall not be reduced in size
by more than one-third (1/3) in height and one-half (1/2) in
length. Cut CMU products shall not be located at ends of walls,
corners, and other openings.
e. Cut, exposed brick and CMU products shall be held to a minimum
and located where they would have the least impact on the
architectural aesthetic goals of the facility.
f. Other building components, built into the CMU products, such
as window frames, door frames, louvers, grilles, fire dampers,
etc., that are required to be metric, shall remain metric.

CLAY OR SHALE BRICK
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The manufacturer's name and color number or
color range will be indicated on the drawings along
with the following note: "Colors or color ranges
indicated are for identification purposes only and
are not intended to limit selection of similar color
or color range from other manufacturers."
Grade SW brick provides a high degree of resistance
to frost action and deterioration by weathering.
Grade MW brick provides a moderate degree of
resistance. Brick facings may be limited to Grade
SW units where previous experience indicates that
surfaces of Grade MW facings, 10 years of age in the
project area, have deteriorated due to weathering.
Types FBS and HBS brick are for general use where
normal size variation and color range is acceptable.
Types FBX and HBX permit less variation. Types FBA
and HBA permit large variations for special
architectural effect.
Bricks of various modular sizes are available and,
if for architectural reasons, other size bricks are
included in the design, the nominal size selected
shall be specified as necessary. If larger units,
such as utility brick are required, change the
specified dimensions. If nominal dimensions are
used, they should be so noted.

Color range and texture of clay or shale brick shall be as indicated and
