• Ability to waterstop the joint where traditional PVC waterstop profiles or other waterstop systems cannot be installed. 
• Able to accommodate longitudinal, lateral and differential movements in an expansion or isolation joint of a structure, due to its innovative design..
• A high performance material produced from virgin PVC compound (refer to material specification) giving long-term integrity and durability over time.
•  Waterstops the joint and allows the joint to expand and contract freely from movements caused by thermal fluctuations, from serviceability loads from within the structure, and from ground settlement
• Factory produced intersection pieces are available for internal and external corner locations, and for areas where integration of traditional waterstop systems (external or internal profile types) are used in 

  construction joints or expansion joints, that run perpendicular into the joint of where the Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop is placed. Refer to CORKJOINT® for further information on this.

CORKJOINT® recommends the use of its specialised welding equipment for on-site welding which consists of  thermostatically-controlled Welding Irons and special Welding Jigs (each type of Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop requires its own welding jig to suit the particular shape). On-site joining is a simple exercise using CORKJOINT® Heat Welding Equipment comprising of an adjustable Welding Jig and Welding Iron. The ends of the waterstop are cut square and placed into the adjustable Welding Jig, then push the ends of the waterstop against the Welding Iron and bring the two ends together until the molten ends of the PVC fuse. When ordering Welding Equipment, please advise profile number of the waterstop required. Refer to our PVC Waterstop Site Joining Guidelines for further information on the above. 

1. Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop should only be installed into an expansion or isolation joint based upon the following:

• with a maximum joint width of 40mm for the AG-RGX 120 profile and the AG-TX 120 profile.
• with a maximum joint movement of 50mm (longitudinally and vertically) for the AG-RGX 120 profile and the AG-TX 120 profile

Note: If a wider joint or wider range of movement is required, please consult CORKJOINT.

2. Factory produced intersection pieces must be used for internal and external corner locations, and also for areas where integration of traditional waterstop systems (external or internal profile types) are to be used in construction joints or expansion joints, or if hydrophilic (swellable) waterstops are to be used in construction joints, that run perpendicular into the joint of where the Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop is placed. Refer to Corkjoint for further information on this.

1. Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop must be installed by skilled installers and must be in accordance with CORKJOINT®‘s recommended installation procedures (refer to our “Installation Method Guideline”) or to the design engineer’s installation specification requirements.

2. The concrete should be fully vibrated around the Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop to help achieve  ultimate sealing capabilities and full integration of the waterstop into the concrete of the structure.

3. Joining of Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop should be performed by heat welding with special welding equipment provided by CORKJOINT® (refer to our job site joining/welding method guideline).

4. Factory produced intersection pieces must be used for internal and external corner locations, and also for areas where integration of traditional waterstop systems (external or internal profile types) are to be  +used in construction joints or expansion joints, or if hydrophilic (swellable) waterstops are to be used in construction joints, that run perpendicular into the joint of where the Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop is placed. Refer to CORKJOINT® for further information on this.

Note:  The product’s design and performance, its intended use, installation and final confirmation and approval for use, must be provided by the project’s Design Engineer and Project Manager.

Waterstop shall be Sure-Stop® LX PVC Waterstop (state profile type) as supplied by CORKJOINT® with dimensions, shape and material properties as illustrated/mentioned in their product brochure. All installation and joining procedures must be according to CORKJOINT®’s recommendations and requirements, and also approved by the project’s Design Engineer.

Joining of SURE-STOP® LX PVC Waterstop is performed by heat welding which results in the discharge of hydrogen chloride mist and vapour. In confined spaces or in still air conditions, the use of a ventilation fan or suitable respirator should be used, and the advice and approval of the site Safety Supervisor is essential. For further information or advice on health and safety precautions, safe handling, storage and correct disposal of products, please refer to the most recent product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) which is available upon request.
