Seal Copper/Metal Water Stop Seal is used for heavy structures, where joints are to be extra-ordinarily protected. Due to its ductile nature copper is the most suited material for this purpose.
Various shapes of copper may be used to serve the application is most common.
Shape either in the thickness of 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm.
Fabrication : The integrity of the water stop system depends on proper fabricated water stop splices to achieve a complete fluid tight system. All directional changes and intersections shall be minor cut and spliced by TIG or MIG welding to maintain continuity of the out side flanges
Installation:
Proper Water Splices, including butting straight lengths, changes of direction, and intersections are very important. Copper water stop should be continuous for the extension of the joint. Position of water stop so the V or Z expansion zone is centered in the joint. Support & secure the water the water stop in the position to limit displacement during the placement of the concrete.
