INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Position the units on to the shimmed concrete foundation.
2. Dry pack mortar to the edge of the base of the units to create a seal to the
perimeter.
3. Through the 30mm preformed holes, drill a 20mm diameter hole, 150mm
deep into the foundation.
4. Fill holes with Silka Anchorfix-1 resin to a level so that when the dowels
are inserted, the resin becomes level with the top of the foundation
(as a minimum).
5. Insert the B.16 dowel bar into the resin. Ensure that the bar is pushed to
the base of the drilled hole.
6. Ensure the units are uniformly supported by using the grouting hole to
completely flood the shimmed void (and grouting hole) with Parex C.S grout.
7. Grout around the dowel using Parex C.S grout so that the dowel is
completely encapsulated.
8. Do not touch the dowel bar or unit until grout has achieved full strength,
in accordance with grout manufacture guidelines.
FOUNDATION
The foundation requirements should be determined by a qualified engineer. Units placed on a concrete foundation should be bedded on mortar and wedged to attain correct alignment.
