WaboFlex

Molded rubber segmental expansion joint system

Features

Benefits

Minimal
open
surface

Prevents accumulation of debris,

ice and incompressible items.
Provides a smooth riding
surface.

Versatility

Combines the strength of steel

and the flexibility of rubber.

Durability

Steel reinforced rubber provides

a durable surface under traffic
and adjusts readily to structural
movement.

DESCRIPTION:
WaboFlex is a molded rubber cushion expansion joint
designed to accommodate structure movements from 2
inches up to 13 inches. The WaboFlex system
consists of molded rubber cushions which are steel
reinforced and imbedded with corrosion-resistant
aluminum wear plates. Tongue and grooves at the end
of each rubber cushion prevent uplift or separation
while ensuring a watertight connection

RECOMMENDED FOR:

Low height joint sealing restrictions.

Bridge decks and ramps

Expansion joint applications with maximum

movement of 13 inches.

New construction or repair and maintenance of

existing joints.

PACKAGING/COVERAGE:

WaboFlex is supplied in standard 6 foot

sections, except for SR13, which are supplied
in 4 foot sections. Sections are shrink wrapped
and shipped on pallets.

NP1 Edge Void Sealant is supplied in 9.8 oz

tubes.

Coverage for all components will depend on

void size, placement, waste, and experience.

Installation Summary:

Aged concrete: loose, contaminated, weak,

spalled, deteriorated and/or delaminated concrete
must be removed to sound concrete and repaired
prior to placement.

Prepare blockouts to proper dimensions and

grades. Care should be taken to ensure all
anchors are set at right angles to the bottom of the
blockout.

The joint opening must be abrasive blasted to

remove all latencies and contaminants which may
cause bonding problems. The joint opening
should be blown clean using compressed air
(>90psi).

Install WaboFlex units starting at the curb over the

applied NP1 Sealant.

Proceed until reaching the field cut piece. Apply

NP1 Sealant to ends of field cut pieces prior to
final placement.

Retourque all anchors approximately one half

hour after tightening.

For Best Results:

Newly placed concrete: the joint interface must

be dry and clean (free of dirt, coatings, rust,
grease, oil, and other contaminants), sound and
durable. New concrete must be cured (minimum
of 14 days).

Install when concrete substrate is clean, sound,

dry, and cured (14 day minimum).

Do not install if the joints anticipated movement

will exceed the systems movement range.

Do not allow any of the components to freeze prior

to installation. Store all components out of direct
sunlight in a clean, dry location between 50F and
90F. Do not store in high humidity.

Do not install when surface temperature is less

than 40F.

Shelf life of chemical components is approximately

1 year.

Periodically inspect the applied material and repair

localized areas as needed. Consult a Watson
Bowman Acme representative for additional
information.

Make certain the most current version of the

product data sheet is being used. Please consult
the website (www.wbacorp.com) or contact a
customer service representative.

Options/Equipment:

Fill bolt holes with NP1 and voids between

WaboFlex sections and vertical face with NP1
Sealant.

Torque wrench to tighten anchors

Pry bar to move or position panel

Hydraulic ram assembly to adjust system for

ambient temperature

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
WaboFlex Joint System
Molded Rubber Segmental Expansion Joint System for Bridge & Highway Applications

A.

General
The work shall consist of furnishing and installing a WaboFlex joint system in accordance
with the details shown on the plans and the requirements of the specifications. The
WaboFlex joint system is shipped in standard sections, 6-0 lengths(4-0 lengths for
SR13). The molded neoprene monolithic units are reinforced with steel angles and imbedded
wear plates, which are tongue-and-grooved for field assembly.

B.

Field Preparation
The blockout in the roadways, curbs, sidewalks, and barriers shall be constructed to the
dimensions shown on the shop drawings. All air voids 1/4" (6 mm) and larger shall be pointed
with an approved grout. The bottom surface of the blockout shall be parallel with the plane of
the roadway (true and flat).
The anchor spacing, corresponding to the dimensions spanning the open joint, must be
verified and adjusted for temperature prior to the installation of the anchors.

C.

Anchor Placement
Cast-in-place type anchors shall be installed into the formwork starting at the gutterline and
proceeding toward the "field-cut piece." Care shall be taken to ensure that the anchors are
set at right angles to the bottom of the blockout.

D.

Panel Installation
Starting at the curb sections, position the NP1 Sealant bedding material as shown on the
shop drawings. Place fabricated curb into blockout and install fastening hardware.
Place a 2 x 4 against the second set of anchors from the curb piece as a base for the jack.
Adjust the jack to fit into the blockout and place another 2 x 4 against the end section of the
curb piece. Compress the curb section and tighten nuts to the specified torque noted on the
shop drawings.
Apply NP1 Sealant to the tongue or groove ends of the fabricated curb and install first
roadway section over the anchors and force adjacent blocks against the previously installed
curb assembly. Continue this procedure with the standard sections until reaching the field-cut
piece.
After field measuring, cut the designated field-cut piece or pieces to the required dimension.
Apply NP1 Sealant to the cut ends. Approximately one hour after initial placement, all nuts or
bolts shall be retorqued.
With all sections installed to the satisfaction of the Engineer, fill the bolt cavity with URA
Sealant.
Seal void between WaboFlex sections and vertical face of blockout with NP1.

breathing has stopped administer artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. Seek
medical attention.

Flush eyes with water, lifting upper and Imver lids occasionally for 15 miuntes. Seek
medical attention.
Ski__n:

Remove contaminated clothiag, Wash thoronghly with soap and water. If irritation
persists seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothiug before reuse.
Do NOT induce vomiting; give large quantities of water; get immediate medical attentiou.
If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquids
into lungs. Do NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious persou.

9.

SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION:

Ventilation: Ventilation is recommended. Air movement must be designed to insure turnover at all locations in work
area to avoid btdld up of heavy vapors.
Personal Protection Equipment: Do NOT wear contact lenses when working with this material. Use chemical
goggles/safety glasses with side shields and Rubber/Nitrile gloves. Selection of specific items such as boots and
apron \vill depend on operatiou. Wear respirator protection whenever airborne conceutrations exceed TLV or TWA
limits. Use NIOSI-UOSHA approved respirators equipped with an organic vapor cartridge for listed hazard.
Confined spaces, rooms, or tanks are areas where concern for TLVs is especially important. Reference OSHA
Regulation CFR 29 t 910.l 34 for recommended respiratory protection.

Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical & ~vater fog.

Special Fire & Unusual Hazards: At bigber temperature vapors can caose pressare btfild ap in sealed cm~tainers.
Use water to cool containers exposed to fire. Self-contained respirator equipment aad fidl protective clothing
required when smoke or flames are generated. Vapors heavier than air can concentrate, travel to source of ignitions,
and flash back. Residue in container can ignite explosively. Electrical grounding is recmnmended when transferring
materiaI in containers 1 gallon (4 liters) or linger.
5.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen; various uuknown hydrocarbons fiom
incomplete cmnbustion. Potential formation of peroxides. If peroxide formation is suspected, do not open or move
container. Avoid sources of ignifion.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur when handled per instractions.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION:
Action To Take For Spills/Leaks: Ventilate area, eliminate all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate protective
gear. Contain leak or spill. Salvage and clean up residue with absorbent material. Remove collected material to safe
