 SURE-STOP® PVC WATERSTOP INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

INTERNAL & EXTERNAL STYLE SURE-STOP® PVC WATERSTOPS

1. Prior to placement, all Sure-Stop® PVC Waterstop joins and intersections must be welded together on site
using our recommended welding and joining procedure (refer to our “CORKJOINT Sure-Stop® PVC Waterstop
Site Joining Guidelines” brochure). In some instances, the waterstops may have to be welded together after
initial installation or after concrete placement has taken place because continuation of the Sure-Stop® PVC
Waterstop could not be performed prior, due to placement difficulties etc.

2. Sure-Stop® PVC Waterstop should be positioned inside the joint so that one half of the waterstop width is
embedded into each concrete pour. (Refer FIG. 1)

3. INTERNAL Sure-Stop® PVC Waterstops must be securely tied into position through the pre-punched eyelets
located on the external outer flanges of the waterstop. These are positioned every 150mm apart along both
outer edges of the waterstop, giving a very secure fixing position. In vertical joint applications, the placement of
form work is then positioned below and on top of the waterstop by butting up to it from both sides, achieving a
split formwork outcome, which also helps secure/hold the waterstop into position. (Refer FIG. 2) Usually in
horizontal joint applications no formwork is required.

4. EXTERNAL Sure-Stop® PVC Waterstop are secured into position by concrete nails that are hammered through
the specially designed outer flange areas of the waterstop, into the lean concrete base (blinding layer) for slab
on ground applications or by nails or screws into the formwork, for wall applications. In vertical joint applications
the placement of formwork is then positioned on top of the waterstop by butting up to it. This also helps
secure/hold the waterstop into position. (Refer FIG. 3)

5. To achieve the ultimate installation procedure, carefully place the concrete so as not to displace Sure-Stop® PVC
Waterstop from its position. Thoroughly vibrate concrete around the waterstop to avoid air entrapment and to
provide a positive contact between the waterstop and the concrete. Particular care should be taken when
installing internal waterstops for slab on ground applications to make sure concrete is fully vibrated and
compacted around and underneath the waterstop and all its ribs. (Refer FIG. 4)

6. Please also refer to our “CORKJOINT Sure-Stop® PVC Waterstop Site Joining Guidelines” for further information
on Sure-Stop® PVC Waterstop welding/joining procedures and preparation and installation procedures.
