Expansion Joint Backer Rod

1. Product Overview

Expansion Joint Backer Rod is a flexible foam material used in construction to fill and control the depth of joints before applying sealants. It helps create the correct sealant profile, reduces unnecessary sealant consumption, and supports effective sealing in concrete joints, building facades, floors, walls, and other construction applications.

5. Installation Guidelines

1. Clean the joint and remove loose debris.

2. Select the correct backer rod diameter for the joint width.

3. Insert the rod using a suitable installation tool without puncturing or damaging it.

4. Set the rod at the depth recommended for the selected sealant.

5. Apply the compatible sealant over the backer rod.

6. Finish the sealant according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Important: A closed-cell backer rod can release gas if punctured, potentially causing bubbles in some sealants. Avoid damaging the rod and follow the sealant manufacturer’s guidance. Do not use a backer rod as a substitute for a designed joint filler where structural support is required.
