Vetostop PVC Range

A range of concrete embedded PVC waterstop profiles.

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.

Uses

  • Underground chambers, STPS and WTPS.
  • Retaining walls, dams, canals, and ponds.
  • Basements, tunnels, subways, and culverts.
  • Reservoirs, tanks, and swimming pools.
  • Strip and raft foundations.

Advantages

  • Unique profile design with multiple ribs.
  • Does not affect the quality of potable water.
  • Brass eyelets at 30cm spacing for more rigidity while concreting.
  • Hollow center bulb for expansion joints to accommodate movement.
  • Factory prefabricated junction pieces. Easy to join on-site.
  • Resistant to a wide range of diluted chemicals, including hydrocarbons.
  • Heavy-duty sections with high inertia resisting bending during concrete pours.

Usage Instructions

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.

Full range of factory made junction pieces are available for all profiles, for the following: 

  • Flat and vertical cross. 
  • Flat and vertical T. 
  • Corner pieces. 
  • Flat L. 

Other custom pieces can be made upon order to customer specifications.
