www.surebuilt-usa.com 3VaporStop™ System
The VaporStop™ membrane system is a high-
performance, polyethylene barrier designed to resist
moisture migration through concrete slab-on-grade.
The membrane is a field-tested and cost-effective
method of controlling moisture transmission in
enclosed structures.
The VaporStop™ membrane, available in 2
thicknesses, protect the flooring, finishes and
furnishings in completed structures from moisture
infiltration damage. A membrane also reduces
condensation, mildew and mold, while improving
indoor air quality.
The VaporStop™ membrane meets or exceeds the
“Standard Specification for Water Vapor Retarders
Used in Contact with Soil or Granular Fill Under
Concrete Slabs” (ASTM E-1745). The VaporStop
membrane is designed to meet or exceed the Class A,
B and C performance.
In a structure without membrane protection, research
has found that 80% of the moisture within the building
originates from site ground water. (HUD Research)
The VaporStop™ membrane, when properly installed
(refer to back page), will provide an effective
and economical method for limiting water vapor
transmission through a concrete slab-on-grade.
The VaporStop Tape is a polyethylene film with
pressure-sensitive adhesive, specifically designed to
bond and seal the VaporStop membrane system.
VaporStop Tape is meets or exceeds the “Standard
Practice for Installation of Water Vapor Retarders Used
in Contact with Soil or Granular Fill under Concrete
Slabs” (ASTM E-1643).

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Consult local building codes and any specific instructions on the project drawings before installation. Do
not proceed until site conditions are acceptable and approved. Installation must comply with all applicable
local, state and federal code jurisdictions. Any unacceptable conditions must be corrected before
installation.
Level and tamp/roll the granular base as specified by the project drawings. If sharp, crushed rock is used,
then a layer of 1/2” fine grade compactible fill is required between the base and the VaporStop membrane
to prevent tears and punctures.
Unroll the VaporStop membrane with the longest dimension parallel to the direction of the planned concrete
placement. For a typical floor slab, lay the VaporStop membrane over the granular base and footing,
stopping at the wall and sealing the end with VaporStop Tape.
The VaporStop membrane should completely cover the granular base in the planned concrete placement
area. All joints/seams should have a 6” overlap secured with VaporStop Tape. Keep joints/seams free from
dust, dirt and moisture for maximum adhesion of the pressure-sensitive VaporStop Tape.
Repair any tears or punctures with a VaporStop membrane patch that has a 6” overlap in all directions and
securely tape the entire patch perimeter. Keep patch area free from dust, dirt and moisture for maximum
adhesion of the pressure-sensitive VaporStop Tape.
Use only brick-type or plate-type bar supports to protect the VaporStop membrane from puncture. Do not
drive forming stakes through the VaporStop membrane.
All pipes, ducts or other penetrations through the VaporStop membrane must be properly sealed. Boots
can be fabricated from the VaporStop material and sealed with VaporStop Tape. Cut the size and shape
necessary to form a tight-fitting seal around each penetration and seal all the edges with VaporStop Tape.
When placing concrete on the VaporStop membrane in hot weather, use a wet curing blanket to prevent the
concrete from shrinking, curling or cracking as a result of rapid surface drying.
Contact your SureBuilt representative for technical assistance and recommendations for usual applications
or conditions.

Steel Stakes
Reusable stakes with nail holes for
supporting lumber edge and other
bracing
Steel stakes are mainly used to secure lumber or
metal concrete forms in flatwork applications. Although
primarily used for concrete forming, a steel stake can
also be used as a general-purpose product. Other
purposes include attaching screed bar brackets for
flatwork finishing, securing landscape timbers, and
surveying stakes.
Each stake is hot-rolled with a “pencil” point, allowing
it to be easily driven or hammered into clay, rock, or
compacted soil. The holes on the stakes are drilled in a
spiral, meaning a nail hole will always line up with the
form for quick nailing.
Steel stakes are more durable than wooden stakes and
do not splinter. Steel stakes are reusable and more
costeffective because there is no need to purchase a
new set for each job.

related labor costs.
Taper Dowel
Diamond-shaped load transfer system
for concrete joints
The size and diamond-shape of the Taper Dowel
provides concrete joint stability, load transfer and
smooth slab-toslab transition, without restraining floor
movement.
The plastic sleeve is nailed to lumber edge forms
before concrete placement and the steel plate slides
into the sleeve after forms are removed in preparation
for the adjoining slab and Taper Dowels are installed
within 24 hours of casting in the sleeves.
The plastic sleeve allows movement and the steel plate
provides maximum bearing, bending and punching re-
sistance, without the risk of slab interlock common with
other methods.
Dowel Specification
A properly installed plate dowel (Taper or Square) is
recommended for joints up to 0.20” wide and is suitable
for all types of ground level concrete slabs, such as
jointed floors, flatwork and pavement. A plate dowel
(Taper or Square) installation conforms to ACI 302.1R
Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction and
ACI 360 Design of Slabs-on-Ground.
Dowels are inserted into sleeves after edge
forms have been removed and within 24
hours of pouring slab.

Stabilize construction joints for existing
to new concrete
Additions to high-traffic industrial floor buildings and
pavements require precise load transfer, smooth
slab-to-slab transition and joint protection. All of these
requirements are met with the Steel Edge Nosing –
E2N assembly.
The E2N Nosing prevents joint spalling and reduces
repair costs in high-traffic areas, like warehouses and
loading docks. Concrete expansion and contraction
takes place as the steel bar slides within the sleeve.
The Dowel Tube allows unrestrained movement in the
horizontal direction as the new concrete shrinks.
A complete assembly includes the Steel Edge Nosing –
E2N, studs, and square dowels with tube. The hole for
the Square Dowel is positioned at mid-slab height.
The installation conforms to ACI 302.1R Guide for
Concrete Floor and Slab Construction and ACI 360
Design of Slabs-on-Ground.

Call 708-493-9569Steel Edge Nosing – E2N Installation
1. Position and hold steel plate and steel bar flush with
the surface of the existing slab. Mark the locations of
the hole in the steel plate for the square dowels and
anchor bolts. Remove Steel Edge Nosing – E2N.
2. Drill holes 9-1/2” into slab, parallel to slab surface
using 1-1/8” drill bit for the 3/4” square dowels. Drill
holes 4-1/2” into slab, parallel to slab surface using 1/2”
drill bit. Attach joint assembly flush with existing slab
using anchor bolts.
3. Epoxy grout 3/4” x 18” square dowels with dowel
tube into pre-drilled holes so that dowel sleeve is
outside of the existing concrete surface. Dowel with
sleeve must be installed with foam on left and right
sides to allow side-to-side movement as seen in middle
picture. Once installed properly, allow epoxy to cure.
4. If the Steel Edge Nosing – E2N will butt up to a
sawcut contraction joint, cut through the full depth of
the side of the Steel Edge Nosing that abuts the saw-
cut to allow activation of the joint.
5. Remove the steel alignment nut from nut and bolt
alignment assembly to allow joint to activate. If steel
alignment nut is not removed the joint will not activate.
Cover the exposed steel alignment bolt with tape or
plastic sleeve so that the threads do not restrain the
new concrete slab.
6. Place and finish concrete normally. Vibration
is required to properly consolidate concrete and
eliminate air entrapment. Follow industry guidance for
consolidating concrete around embedments.
7. Concrete paste can be removed from top of Steel
Edge Nosing – E2N plate and bar during finishing.
8. If concrete leveling is needed, grind joint flush or
saw-cut 1/2” deep, 18 – 24 inches back into existing
slab, chip existing slab down 1/2 – 3/4” and top with
approved epoxy materials.
9. See project specifications for joint filler installation.

www.surebuilt-usa.com 23E2N 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.

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.

dowels
Positioning smooth dowels with leave-in-place
expansion boards, like cedar or polypropylene, is
easy with Dowel Sleeve.
Expansion boards are predrilled to the proper hole
size and spacing to meet specifications. Once the
predrilled boards are in position, the sleeves are
quickly snapped into place. Integrated collar tabs
keep each sleeve in position and perpendicular to the
board face.
The plastic sleeve holds each smooth steel dowel in
proper horizontal alignment for the best possible load
transfer between concrete pavement sections.
Normal concrete expansion and contraction takes
place as the smooth steel dowel bar slides inside the
sleeve.
