Dowel Sleeve – Construction Data Sheet

Dowel Sleeve – Construction Joint
Used with lumber edge forms to accurately position smooth steel dowels at a construction joint
Positioning smooth dowels with lumber edge forms is easy with the plastic Dowel Sleeve and Nailing Plate. The plate is attached to the form at the required spacing and the sleeve is pushed onto the plate before concrete placement.
When the lumber edge forms are removed, a smooth steel dowel is placed into each sleeve for the adjoining concrete slab. The plastic Dowel Sleeve holds each dowel in proper horizontal alignment for the best possible load transfer between sections.
Normal concrete expansion and contraction takes place as the smooth steel dowel slides inside the plastic sleeve.
