ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area wiring for solid masonry walls

The boxes used,no kidding,are called mason boxes.The bricklayer or mason,cuts a hole in the block for the box,sets the box and mortars it in.The electrician adds sections of conduit as the walls go up.(usually 30" pieces).This keeps the mason from having to raise the heavy blocks so far above their head to place the conduit into the web of the block.
