How to: Cold to expansion joint transitions between coated metal waterstops and PVC waterbars
Expansions joints are placed to safely absorb the expected movement between individual concrete sections. The transition between a cold joint seal using coated metal waterstops and expansion joint seal with PVC waterbars must be executed with particular care
How to:
- Installation of the PVC waterbar in the expansion joint of the floor slab
- Installation of the Fradiflex® Premium metal waterstop in the cold joint between the floor slab and the rising wall (coated side facing the water bearing direction)
- Pre-drill the PVC waterbar; pay attention to maintain adequate embedment of the metal waterstop into the slab
- Screw the expansion joint connector to the expansion joint PVC waterbar
- Glue the expansion joint connector to the metal waterstop and secure with a clip
Application of Fradiflex® Premium waterstop:

Coated metal water stops have been established to be simple and secure solutions in sealing construction cold joints. However, in the event of unanticipated joint movement, late shrinkage or ground movement, the primary seal can become compromised and crack injection may be necessary to seal the joint.
