Before installing, locate joints for QuicKey™ as indicated on drawings,
as called for in specifications or as recommended by either ACI or PCA.
Step One:
With elevation checked by instrument, stretch a line the length of
the joint and set the line at the finished elevation. If cap is used,
drive stakes 3/16" deeper.
Install intermediate stakes on 2' centers 5 stakes per 10' section.
Drive stakes to bottom of the line. Additional stakes shall be used
for support if soil conditions require.
Step Two:
Hang QuicKey™ joint on stakes and push downward. Locking tab stakes will produce an audible click indicating a positive interlock between stake and QuicKey™.
Stake clips and splices are available if needed.
Step Three:
With continuous placement, concrete shall be placed to full depth simultaneously on both sides of joint.
When QuicKey™ is used as a bulkhead or in a construction joint, knockouts shall be bent at 45 degrees into the concrete.
Step Four:
Finish the concrete flush to the top edge of the key joint. Be sure the concrete fills key without void or honeycomb.
