AAC Precast Block Walls
Routing Channels


Step 3 - Remove waste and clean.
If a circular saw or concrete cutter was used to cut the channel, the unwanted material can be removed by snapping it away with a chisel.

Step 4 - Cut recesses for outlets.
Cut a template to the size of the hole or outlet and temporarily secure to the wall. Remove AAC material with a plunge router to the required depth.

Step 5 - Install conduit.
Install cable, flexible, or rigid conduit in channel and secure with channel clips. Observe local codes for type of conduit, proper attachment and channel depth.

Step 6 - Install electric boxes.
Electrical boxes may be fixed to the wall with course threaded screws. As an option, glue, foam or thin-bed mortar may be used.
