Intec-injection hose systems

„Enormously improved level of performance“

The only injection hose which can be cleaned by pressure fl ushing and

which is therefore also suitable for multiple injections with PUR resin.

Pebble accumulations (voids) within the concrete do not affect the successful

injection of the total joint length.

Laitance and water penetration into the injection holes during concreting

is avoided.

Clogging or sintering of the injection hose is avoided.

Absolutely secure and simple application.

Intec injection hose systems for

sealing (injection) of concrete con-

struction joints are approved by

general test certifi cates issued by

the TU (Technical University) Mu-

nich.

The Intec injection hose sys-

tem has been a well-proven and

recommended system for more

than 20 years!

Simple, easy and secure application of

the injection hose, without the necessity

of formwork and reinforcement work

The NAPA shutter spider is used to fi x

the shutter connector to the reinforce-

ment.

Intec must not be fi xed at intervals of

more than 15 cm.

A seal between base / wall and

wall / wall is ensured using independent

injection circuits.

Always place shutter connectors in a

way to ensure that access is easy at a

later date.

The FRANK Intec injection hose ensures simple, secure

and cost-saving sealing of construction joints between

base / base.

The shutter connector can also be used for the base.

hose with the fi lament tape

2. Cut the fi lament bandage cleanly and

at right angles

3. Screw the shutter connector into the

hose end

Every injection circuit has two shutter

connectors

Nailed to the formwork from inside

Placed in undisturbed concrete

Easy to access for injection

Safe operation of the injection hose

No need to drill through formwork

skin

The shutter connector – perfect connection of hose ends

Our accessories are crucial for an

optimum injection. The connection

problem is perfectly solved with the

shutter connector.

As an alternative to the shutter connec-

tor, storage boxes can be used. When

using this alternative, however, the injec-

tion hose ends must be of special de-

sign.

The FRANK Intec injection hose allows

simple and secure sealing of large

apertures in concrete walls.

4. Nail the shutter connector to the

formwork

5. Lay from the roll and fi x the injection

hose in the construction joint. Fix the

second shutter connector as descri-

bed in points 1 to 4.

6. Hose completely fi xed and laid.

Where hose sections cross, we

recommend to tape up one hose

with fi lament tape to avoid cross-

injection.

intec-cem product descr ipt ion

The Intec-Cem injection hose has

been developed for special appli-

cations for cement injection and

is therefore also recommended

for multiple injections.

Intec-Cem injection hose

Problem location in the underpining:

When construction takes place in constricted areas, the new building frequently

has foundations lower than the adjacent buildings. The existing buildings must be

secured without settlement using underpinning.

There are, however, often unavoidable cavities due to the settlement of fresh

concrete.

Solution:

Intec-Cem is fi xed to the underside of the existing building in order to inject (fi ll up)

the void at a later date with cement grout or cement suspension.



intec-combi product descr ipt ion

The Intec Combi injection hose has

been developed for simple and se-

cure sealing of construction joints.

Primary sealing by the expanding

waterstop is a typical feature of

this system. Subsequent injection

of the injection hose is only neces-

sary, if leakages occur as a result of

voids within the concrete or of

uncon trolled motions in the joint

(example joint without reinforce-

ment).

Intec-Combi injection hose

The hose is glued on or, alternatively, nailed using a fi xing rail. The expanding

waterstop must be positioned towards the water side.

The injection circuit ends (hose ends) must overlap.

In case of thicker walls, the corners can be placed at a radius of approximately

18 cm. In case of thinner walls, special corner connectors are available for the

90° corner.

cresco product descr ipt ion

Cresco expanding waterstop for

sealing of construction joints is ap-

proved by a general test certifi cate,

according to the regulations of the

construction supervising authori-

ties.

Cresco expands in a controlled

manner on contact with water and

the expansion pressure caused

ensures a tight seal in the con-

struction joint.

Cresco expanding waterstop

Features of the Cresco expanding waterstop:

Flat rectangular shape (25 x 6 mm) and controlled pressure increase

Cresco successfully prevents damages to the concrete construction, even if the

recommended corner distances (8 cm) are not observed

Reliable, homogenous and reversible pressure increase

Cresco’s shape remains unchanged even when expanding (the expanding

waterstop cannot dissolve)

Simple fi xing with glue (no mesh cover or nails required)

Excellent resistance to chemicals

Cresco expanding waterstop is suitable for use at areas with wet and dry cycles

fradif lex e lement wa l l ’s contro l l ed c rack jo in t f l ash ing

Element walls are a real alterna-

tive to in-situ concrete construc-

tions and have therefore gained

in popularity recently. Many of

these constructions are planned as

watertight constructions and thus

require a secure and simple sealing

system.

In conformity with the guidelines for

watertight constructions, the verti-

cal butt joints must be designed as

frangible joints.

The Fradifl ex element wall’s con-

trolled crack joint fl ashing allows for

secure and very economical sealing

of frangible joints.

For application of the Fradifl ex element

wall’s controlled crack joint fl ashing,

the slab must be equipped with special

corner elements.

The corner plate for the element wall’s

controlled crack joint fl ashing including

the sealing in the slab can be fi xed eas-

ily and securely.

Additional fi xing is not required.

fradif lex e lement wa l l ’s contro l l ed c rack jo in t f l ash ing

Fradifl ex metal water stops for el-

ement wall’s controlled crack joint

fl ashing have considerable inherent

stability and therefore do not need

to be fi xed to the element wall.

The upper ends of the metal water

stops must only be fi xed with re-us-

able fi xing loops prior to concreting

(no plugs or screws required).

The fi xing loops can be positioned

shortly before concreting or already

during the element wall assembly.

Element walls can be erected without

any delay.

The fi xing loops can already be

removed during concreting.

fradif lex e lements fo r f rang ib le jo in ts

Cross sections with controlled

cracks require suffi cient weakening

of the concrete cross section (by at

least one third of the cross section

thickness) and of the reinforcement

integrated in the concrete cross

section. Besides that, for utility

class A, a joint sealing system must

be installed.

Fradiflex-elements for frangible joints

For in-situ concrete applications

The Fradifl ex element for frangible joints consists of a metal water stop with Fradifl ex

special coating on both sides and with laterally protruding crack guiding plates. The

standard elements available in lengths of 2,5 m or 3 m and crack guiding plates with

a width of 50 mm can be used for wall diameters from 20 to 30 cm.

Quick and simple assembly – due to their inherent stability, the Fradifl ex

elements for frangible joints must only be fi xed at the lower and upper edge.

Overlaps are glued – no time-consuming welding work required.

Fradifl ex elements for frangible joints seal controlled cracks up to a water pressure

of 5 bars and their use is authorized for constructions with stress class 1 and utility

class A.

permur pipe leadthroughs

Permur pipe leadthroughs are devel-

oped for sealing wall leadthroughs

against a maximum water pressure

of 5 bars.

They are approved by a test certifi -

cate of the construction supervis-

ing authorities.

Permur pipe leadthroughs

Permur pipe leadthroughs consist of Permur fi brous cement pipes or Per-

mur Monolith special moulds and Permur seal inserts.

This system securely seals wall leadthroughs (service and sewage pipes in

cellar areas) against a maximum water pressure of 5 bars.

For the circular chases in concrete walls, either Permur fi bre cement pipes or

Permur Monolith special moulds can be used.

Permur Monolith moulds are a reliable and cost-saving alternative to the fi bre

cement pipes and handling of this material is particularly advantageous.

PFR-fixing aid for Permur fibre cement pipes

The PFR fi xing aid fi xes the fi bre cement pipe securely and simply to the

existing formwork and at the same time protects the pipe against laitance

penetration.

Here, the PFR fi bre cement pipe is fi xed to the formwork skin on one side with the

fi xing aid. The fi xing aid and the formwork accessories can be recovered and used

repeatedly. This system saves labour time and creates properly chamfered pipe

ends inside the concrete.

permur sea l inse r ts

Permur seal inserts

PDE-Permur seal inserts are used for reliable sealing of the annular gap between a

circular chase in the wall and a medium pipe lead through this wall.

PDE-Permur seal inserts give the building industry a secure and economical means

of sealing wall leadthroughs.

Carefully planned and executed entry/exit points for service and sewage pipes to

the basement area are decisive in achieving a watertight building.

Permur seal inserts securely seal wall leadthroughs against base moisture and

pressing water.
