PVC Water Stopper

A PVC Water Stopper is a flexible sealing strip made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), designed to prevent water leakage in concrete structures. It is primarily used in construction joints, expansion joints, and water-retaining structures to provide watertight sealing and prevent water penetration.

beam’s high-quality PVC Water Stoppers are widely used in: 

• Water tanks & reservoirs – Ensures leak-proof joints. 
• Basements & foundations – Prevents groundwater seepage. 
• Dams & canals – Used in hydraulic structures for waterproofing. 
• Tunnels & bridges – Provides flexibility and prevents cracks due to movement. 
• Swimming pools & sewage plants – Maintains a watertight seal in submerged conditions.

We offer different types of PVC Water Stoppers based on their application: 

• Dumbbell Type – Used in construction joints for moderate water pressure resistance. 
• Ribbed Type – Provides superior grip and bonding in high-pressure water applications. 
• Center Bulb Type – Designed for expansion joints to accommodate movement and prevent leakage. 
• Kicker Type – Used in cold joints where additional flexibility is required. 

PVC Water Stoppers are embedded in concrete joints during construction. When the concrete hardens, the stopper forms a continuous waterproof barrier. As a result, it blocks water from passing through expansion, contraction, and construction joints.

Using PVC Water Stoppers offers multiple advantages: 

• Excellent waterproofing – Ensures long-term protection against leakage. 
• High elasticity & flexibility – Adapts to structural movement and thermal expansion. 
• Chemical & corrosion resistance – Withstands harsh environments, including sewage and chemicals. 
• Durable & long-lasting – Designed for extreme weather and high water pressure conditions. 
• Easy installation – Can be welded and adjusted on-site for custom fitting.

The installation process involves: 

1. Placement in concrete joints before pouring concrete. 
2. Securing the stopper using steel clamps or tie bars to prevent movement. 
3. Proper welding at joint intersections to ensure a seamless seal. 
4. Ensuring correct alignment for maximum effectiveness.
