BC PVC Water stop
Product Description:-
BCI PVC Waterstop is designed to provide an integral sealing system for expansion and construction joints in cast in-situ concrete. It is extruded from a pure and premium quality virgin PVC materials which is formulated to provide excellent flexibility and durability characteristics. BCI PVC Waterstop is designed using valve and tortuous path principles. The valve acts as baffles, in the event of joints opening as drying shrinkage or other movement occurs, the edge of valve acts as anchors, including the tensions across waterstop resulting in a sealing effect at the inner faces of the edge valve. The tortuous path profile provides greater resistance and more difficult path for water to seep around the cross section. BCI PVC Waterstop products offer a fully continuous 4 bulbed design maintaining both the valve and the tortuous path principles. BCI PVC Waterstop has centrally place and externally place design, all centrally placed design incorporates an eyeletted, reinforced edge flange, this enables the waterstop to be easily positioned by wiring to surrounding reinforcement. BCI PVC Waterstop with center bulb sections design is used for expansion, contraction, movement joints. The center hollow bulb allows for movement in a structure to be accommodated whilst its hexagonal design provides flat surface which allows shuttering and joint fillers to fit firmly.
Fixing Waterstop At Kicker:
The waterstop for used at kicker is equipped with brass eyelets in the central rib.
Twist short lengths of tying wire through there eyelets so that the kicker is cast
they act as anchors, holding the center of the waterstop tight against the face of the concrete. This prevents the build up of debris between the waterstop and the kicker before the wall is casted.
