Injection hose

The fabric compression hose is used as joint filling material for sealing construction joints in watertight designs in concrete construction, such as e.g. "white bathtubs", for pressing and also non-pressing water. Examples of this application are concreting runs and also special construction processes such as building structures with a geometrically complicated construction joint shape and a high degree of movement.

 

Set-up/Demensions:

  • PVC-hose with injection holes
  • Fabric casing prevents the penetration of cement particles into the injection holes during concreting 
  • i.d.: appox.: 5 mm
  • o.d.: approx.: 13 mm

Laying or Compressing Instructions:

  • Max. laying unit: 10 m
  • Lay in the centre of the component as far as possible
  • Concrete covering > 5 cm
  • Fix the injection hose securely in the contruction joint (using clamps every 15 cm), because it must rest over the whole surface of the construction joint
  • Successive laying units must overlap
  • Mask the injection hose at the crossing points with filament strip in order to prevent them pressing against each other
  • Protect hose ends with a stopper, packer or similar to prevent contamination during concreting
  • The position of the hose ends or packers should be easily accessible and be flush with the top (make a note on the drawing)
  • Compress as late as possible (as a rule after completion tf the shinkage process)
