Continuity of Seal — as in all
EMSEAL expansion joint systems, continuity of seal through changes in
plane and direction is an essential performance differentiator. In addition to
guaranteeing watertightness, EMSEAL’s "Universal-90’s" allow for
much faster and secure installation by eliminating field cutting
at angles. And because they are coated on both sides they can
easily be installed at inside and outside corners as
needed.

UNIVERSAL 90's
Watertight, Factory Fabricated
Upturn/Downturn Transition Pieces For Ensuring Continuity of Seal

Factory-Fabricated Terminations and
Transitions — as
in all EMSEAL expansion joint systems, continuity of seal through
changes in plane and direction is an essential performance
differentiator.
EMSEAL precompressed, coated, foam sealants are manufactured
in straight-run sticks which can be joined in the field to
EMSEAL’s patent-pending "Universal-90" Transitions and
Terminations. Universal-90's are available for all* of EMSEAL's
coated microsphere-modified-acrylic-impregnated
foam sealant products including
COLORSEAL,
SEISMIC COLORSEAL,
HORIZONTAL COLORSEAL,
DSM,
CHEMSEAL,
BEJS,
DSF, and
EMSHIELD DFR,
EMSHIELD
SecuritySeal SSF, EMSHIELD WFR2,
EMSHIELD SecuritySeal
SSW2, Submerseal. They have the same performance waterproofing
and additional characteristics of the system of which they are
manufactured. (*Universal-90's for
SJS
are available as custom manufactured
pieces. Contact EMSEAL for specific requirements)

These factory-fabricated
single-piece 90-degree units have a 12-inch long leg and a
6-inch vertical piece on each end of the elbow.
The Universal-90's are symmetrically coated on both
sides. This allows them to be installed as an upturn
or as a downturn.
Universal-90 Transitions are cut at 90-degrees with both ends
open for a butt-connection to another stick or another Universal-90. Either leg can be trimmed in the field
to connect to straight run material or to another Universal-90
when going, for example, up and over a curb, into a parapet, or
up and down treads and risers.
Universal-90 Terminations
end, on the 6-inch leg, in a 45o sealed and mitered end.
This allows termination as a stand alone upturn or provides a surface
against to which a wall joint system can be married. Flipped over,
the Universal-90 termination unit can be alternatively installed as
a downturn termination where a joint runs off the deck. In this use,
the sealed, mitered end provides a drip edge for drainage of water off
the joint.
In addition to guaranteeing
a continuous
waterproof coating, EMSEAL’s "Universal-90's" allow for
much faster and secure installation by eliminating field cutting
or notching and bending
at angles. |

FEATURES
Watertight —
Universal-90's are a component of the specific EMSEAL coated
impregnated-foam products installed with a tensionless
watertight
bellows.
Non-Invasive Anchoring — There are no hard metal-to-substrate
connections with Universal-90 transitions or terminations. This includes embedded pins, anchors,
screws, bolts or tracks, trays or rails, flanges or coverplates. The
system is locked to the joint faces by means of the backpressure of
the foam, epoxy in some cases, and the injected sealant bands at
the joint face.
Versatility — Universal-90's are coated on both sides
(regardless of the single or dual coating nature of the EMSEAL
impregnated-foam product with which they are joined). This allows them
to be sealed to any side of water contact when turned in any 90-degree
position. All Universal-90 pieces can function as an inside or
outside corner. Joint-Size Variation —Uniform bellows appearance, and the
ability to handle variations in joint size through size-switching makes
the Universal-90's and their respective coated, precompressed foam
system aesthetically and functionally versatile. |
