XB-75 PVC WATERSTOP
Description
CORKJOINT® XB PVC Waterstop is a specially designed profile for use in expansion or isolation joints in concrete where traditional PVC waterstop profiles cannot be placed due to the interference of reinforcement bars. XB-75 PVC Waterstop should only be installed into an expansion/isolation joint with a width of 10mm-25mm.
Uses
Expansion/isolation joints in concrete where reinforcement does not allow the use of traditional, wider type, PVC waterstop profiles
Double beam expansion joints
Podium slab to building expansion/isolation joints
Slab to column expansion joints
Slabs & suspended slabs with double beams & columns
Advantages
Ability to waterstop the joint where traditional PVC waterstop profiles cannot be placed due to their inappropriate design and width.
Able to accommodate large movements in expansion/isolation joints due to its innovative design.
Able to accommodate longitudinal, lateral and differential movements in expansion/ isolation joints.
A high-performance material produced from virgin PVC compound (refer to material specification) giving long-term integrity and durability over time. No scrap or recycled PVC’s are used.
Water stops the joint and allows it to expand and contract freely from movements caused by thermal fluctuations and serviceability load from within the structure.
Easy to install (refer to our recommended installation procedures)
Application
Installation of XB PVC Waterstop must be in accordance with the engineers recommended installation procedures. (refer to our “installation method guideline”) or refer to your designer engineer’s recommendations.
The concrete must be fully vibrated around the XB PVC Waterstop to help achieve ultimate sealing capabilities and full integration of the waterstop into the structure.
Joining of XB PVC Waterstop must be performed by heat welding with special equipment provided by the supplier. (refer to our “on site joining guidelines”).
Factory fabricated intersections must be used to connect traditional types of PVC waterstops to XB PVC Waterstop.
Special intersections will be required to join the waterstops that are being used in the construction or expansion joints that run perpendicular to the expansion / isolation joint where the XB PVC Waterstop is to be placed. Contact us for further details or refer to your designer engineer’s recommendations.
All the joints of the concrete structure that run perpendicular into the expansion / isolation joint where the XB PVC Waterstop is being used must have waterstops in them. If they are construction joints, then traditional PVC watestops or our Superswell® 47B hydrophilic waterstop can be used (refer to our recommended installation procedures). If traditional PVC Waterstops are to be used, then refer to No. 4 above or refer to your designer engineer’s recommendations.
