Dowel Bar - Expansion Joint (Box of 50)

Used with stay-in-place expansion board to accurately position smooth dowels

Positioning smooth dowels with leave-in-place expansion boards, like cedar or polypropylene, is easy with the Dowel Sleeve.  Expansion boards are predrilled to the proper hole size and spacing to meet specifications. Once the predrilled boards are in position, the sleeves are quickly snapped into place. Integrated collar tabs keep each sleeve in position and perpendicular to the board face. The plastic sleeve holds each smooth steel dowel in proper horizontal alignment for the best possible load transfer between concrete pavement sections. Normal concrete expansion and contraction takes place as the smooth steel dowel bar slides inside the sleeve.
