PVC W Water Sto Pper - Ins Stallation Guide

The document discusses the proper installation of PVC water stoppers. It explains that water stoppers must accommodate joint movements and be compatible with the concrete and liquids. It then describes two main installation methods - using cold epoxy adhesive or heat fusion. For both methods, the portions to be joined are cut and then bonded together, either by applying epoxy and allowing it to cure, or by heating the portions until they melt and merging them together. Precautions during installation like careful compaction of concrete are also outlined.

PVC W

Water Stopper – Insstallation Guide 
The  water  stop  must  be  designed  and  installed  prroperly  to  accommodat
a te  joint  exp pansions, 
contracttion and lateeral & transverse movem ments. In add dition to thesse considerattions, the wa ater stop 
must  bee  compatiblee  with  the  concrete 
c sysstem  and  the  liquids  and  chemicalss  to  be  conttained  or 
controlleed. 

WWater  Stopppers  are  tied d  to  steel  fframe  work  through 


eeyelets by means of sma all wires (sam me being depicted in 
thhe  adjacent  figure),  certtain  metal  c lamps  mean
nt  to  grip 
thhe water sto
op seal and keep it in prooper position. 

F irstly  one  half 


h of  the  water 
w stop  is  embedded  in  the 
c oncrete leavving the seco ond half exteended.  Second half is 
a lso embedde he center bu lb free for expansion 
ed leaving th
a nd contraction movements. 

dology for a ‘‘T’ joint by t he Cold Epoxy Adhesive and Heat Fuusion Metho
Installattion Method od 

Cold Epo oxy Adhesive Method 
• Seleect the two p portions of th
he water stopppers to be jjoined 
• Creaate a neat an nd straight cuut for direct jjoining 
• For a “T” joint, ccut the portioons and ensuure both the e parts come into a perfeect binding ass a single 
unit before the eepoxy is applied 
• The top and bottom surfaces of the joiniing portions need to be ccut at 90 deggrees (or as rrequired) 
• Cold d  epoxy  bon
nding  solutioon  (preferabbly  Anabond d),  suitable  for  PVC  cann  be  applied d/coated 
unifformly and to
o be allowed d for curing aas per Adhesiive manufactturer’s instruuction. 
• Join  the  top  &  bottom  surffaces  and  appply  pressurre  ‐  hold  it  for 
f approxim mately  10  minutes  in 
ordeer to ensure air tight bon
nding. The prrocedure is ssimilar to con nveyor belt –– splicing and
d joining. 
• Onee must ensurre that sufficient adhesivve is applied to the joint ‐ applying leess than requ uired will 
weaaken the bon nding and inccrease the chhances of leaakage.

• Seleect the two p portions of th he water stopps to be joined 
• Creaate a neat an nd straight cuut for direct  bud weldingg / joining 
• In caase of “T” joiint (or) “X” jooint, cut the  portions acccordingly 
• Heat both the po ortions to be
e joined usin g ‐  
o Electrical  Air 
A Gun  –  which 
w produuces  hot  air  from  the  compressor  tthrough  the e  heating

lamp, till itt turns into a reddish coloor – insert th

• The heat producced will cause the joiningg surfaces to melt 
• Therreafter, both h the surface es need to bee carefully mmerged 
• Heat fusion will make the joints water tigght

Precautiions during w
water stop installation

Water stoppers are  prone to ge et damaged dduring consttruction. Com mpaction of  concrete aro ound the 


water  sttop  should  be 
b done  care
efully,  or  elsse  it  can  dislocate  &  cou
uld  lead  to  aa  risk  of  hon
neycomb 
formatioon which maay lead to lea
akage througgh concrete itself rather tthan throughh joint.

Methods for Jointing PVC Waterstops with Heater Blade:

Water Stoppers can be join on site with a simple electrical heater blade.
Water Bars of same width & design should be sharply levelled at edges using a knife.
Turn on the Electric Heater Blade and wait will it become hot.
Place the waterstops on both sides of heater blade & press it until it melts but without burning.
Remove the heater blade upward.
Joint the molten end quickly & hold them together firmly for approximately 20-30 seconds.
