Need to run pipe thru cinder block

Both of the methods you have will work, I’m a hammer the block kinda guy, fast and easy…you could get a hole saw with a masonry edge and drill it out..the hole saw will not be cheap and by the time you put it in your drill you could have hammered it out.:-) Good luck…let us know how it goes

Like Todd says either will work but I’m a drill first guy I feel there’s less chance of breaking the block. You could also rent a drill with the correct size drill bit for the pipe.

Masonry scares me, so I recommend drilling. Slower but I assume this is your house and not a job with a crew waiting on you. Either way, good luck. BTKS

I don’t know if you already have the job done or not, but I would use a carbide grit coated hole saw and drill it out. You can pick them up at HD or another big box store for under $15.

I assume you are going to put some caulking or fire-stop material around it. If so, you could have a a larger hole and caulk around the pipe.

Tell us what you end up doing and the results.

Decided to go the drilling route. I drew a circle on the block and used a 1/4” masonry bit to drill several holes around the perimeter. The inside wall of the block was easy, but going thru the outer wall was a bit tougher. The hole actually came out relatively round and was just large enough to get the 2 cables thru. I then applied a liberal amount of hydraulic masonry patch to both side of the block to (hopefully) stop any water from coming in. That was actually the most frustrating part. Its amazing how fast that stuff sets up!! I mixed it up outside and immediately patched he outside hole and by the time I got downstairs, the stuff had already set. If nothing seeps in, I should be all done. Thanks everyone for your input!!
