Waterstop by JP Specialties, Inc. Earth Shield®

The Primary Choice for Secondary Containment®

Installation

Install Earth Shield TPV Waterstop in all concrete joints. Waterstop should be centered in, and run the extent of the joint. All changes of directions should be prefabricated (see Shop Made Fittings), leaving only butt-welding for the field. If installing in an expansion joint, keep center bulb unembedded to allow it to accommodate movement as designed. Use our factory-installed brass eyelets or #3 hog rings and tie wire to secure waterstop to reinforcing steel to avoid displacement during the concrete pour. Splice straight lengths of waterstop, and Shop Made Fittings to straight lengths, with an ST-10 In Line Waterstop Splicer with the iron temperature set to 410°F to 430°F. More detailed installation instructions can be found in our Standard 3-part Specifications.
