2.4 Gravity Fill Installation Instructions
For HY10L Filler Material
The HY10L filler material is designed to be used with the LENTON
®
INTERLOK rebar splicing system. Unauthorized use of
other grouts will void all warranties, whether expressed or implied. It is important that all individuals responsible for the
grout installation be properly trained.
Gravity Fill:
1) Check the lengths of the protruding dowel to make sure the dimensions meet those on the Placing Drawings.
If the protruding dowels are too long, they may be cut to the correct length. If the dowels are too short, the panels
should not be used and the resident engineer should be contacted.
2) Install panel using normal industry practices. *Refer to Pages 2-5 of this manual for correct embedment and dowel lengths.
3) Before beginning work with HY10L, remove all debris, oil, dirt, moisture, and any obstructions from the couplers, rebars,
and areas to be grouted. Blow air into the couplers to confirm they are clean and dry. Make sure all panels and forms
are securely anchored to prevent movement during placing and curing.
4) To permit rapid and continuous work with the HY10L, it is recommended that all necessary tools and materials be on
hand and as near to the work area as possible. Refer to the Materials and Equipment List on the HY10L bag and to the
Materials and Equipment List located in this manual for tools and materials needed for proper gravity fill installation.
5) In order to properly shim and level the precast panels, ERICO recommends that the upper panel is installed and
“dry fit” into its final position, such that, the protruding dowels are fully seated into the ungrouted couplers.
Once these two panels have been brought together, insert the proper shims between the panels so that the assembly
is properly positioned. Once the panels have been properly shimmed and leveled, the upper panel can be removed to
allow for filling of the couplers.
