More Acceptable Than Ever

The Diamond-Shaped Taper Dowel!

More designers, specifiers and contractors than ever, now understand and accept the Taper Dowel. They realize the Taper Dowel provides joint stability, load transfer and smooth slab-to-slab transition, without restraining floor movement. A properly installed Taper Dowel also minimizes joint spalling and eliminates tripping hazards.

A Taper Dowel Set includes the sleeve, nails and steel plate. The sleeve is centered and nailed to a lumber edge form before concrete placement. After the form is removed, the steel plate is inserted into each sleeve in preparation for the adjoining slab.

The Taper Dowel conforms to the ACI 302.1R Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction and ACI 360 Design of Slabs-on-Ground. It is recommended for joints up to 0.20” wide and is suitable for all types of grade-level concrete floors, slabs or pavements.
