Stepping the Wall
When the wall is stepped, half units and caps may be used
to smooth the transition.To create half units, first remove the
anchor bar and the spacer bar on the bottom of the unit, then
split unit in half. When the wall is turned into an embankment
or stepped into the grade, care must be taken to provide an
adequate base for the wall (see Embankment
Installations). |

Finishing with Caps
- Place caps centered between the two units shown below.
The cap can have setback, have no setback, or the cap
can be moved forward 1" to 2" to give the wall a ledge
look.
- . To create a permanent connection of the caps to the
wall units, use a construction adhesive. Apply the adhesive
to the top surface on the units below the cap and place the
cap units into position.
- The type of cap available may vary depending upon your
location. Consult with your distributor or installer for
specific cap design and installation instruction.
- Cap installation should be discussed between owner and
installer.
