Vetostop PVC Waterstops is a range of concrete embedded PVC profiles that stop water passage through the tortuous path and positive valve seal mechanisms. The profiles are precisely engineered to block water passage in concrete joints. Vetostop PVC profiles are extruded from virgin non-recycled elastomeric polyvinyl chloride rubber. The profiles are designed for both internal fixation and external fixation. Place the inner sections brass eyelets on the sections’ ineffective sides to tying to steel reinforcement for efficient fixation during concrete pours. Heavy-duty profiles are used where large sections or where substantial heights exceed 4 meters.
Steel wires should tie Vetostop PVC center fix profiles inside form-work to the reinforcement through the edge flanges’ eyelets. Rear fixation profiles should be fixed before concreting with nails to the concrete blinding and vertical shutters through the edge flanges.
The key to a leak-free water-stop network is correct on-site jointing. Vetostop PVC range is made of thermoplastic PVC and can be easily welded using suitable heating processes, such as welding knives. Cut the edges to be welded in a sharp and straight line, then secure the ends in a welding jig. Use the welding knife between the ends until an even, molten bead appears.
Remove the welding knife and press the ends firmly together. Consult Saveto technical departments for further details.
