E2N Square Dowel and Tube

Stabilize construction joints for existing to new concrete
floors and flatwork
Designed for joint activation and free horizontal
movement of existing-to-new concrete without
restraint.
The E2N Square Dowel and Tube has compressible
foam on both sides of the 3/4” square steel dowel
protected by a plastic tube
This allows new concrete to shrink adjacent to
existing concrete without the dowel causing
unintended damage to the concrete.
The comparison to the right shows the load transfer
on square bars compared to round bars. The load
transfer directly down into the concrete effectively
eliminates splitting stresses within the concrete.
Square bars have greater resistance to bending,
reducing edge and corner curling without increasing
the amount of steel used.
