MTI’s Single Wythe Wall System works because it weeps the wall at the bottom of the core, controls the trash mortar, and separates the edge of the concrete floor from the base of the wall. Any water that may accumulate in core of block or run down inside of wall will pass by edge of floor and not onto floor.

MTI’s Single Wythe Wall System
It
has several
advantages over the traditional stepped base
flashing. It does not create a shear plane at the base
of the wall. It is well bonded to the foundation. The
structural engineer will be happy. It does not
interfere with placement of the rebar that the
structural engineer usually places in the center of
the wall. Since it uses typical block instead of two
half-sized units, you avoid the problem of getting an
off-color stripe at the flashing locations. (When blocks are manufactured at different times, you
often get slight variations in color.)
