Dowel Sleeve UDS

Connolly Universal Dowel Sleeves are available for round and square dowels, to allow for load transfer across joints in slab-on-ground applications.

The sleeve encases one half of the dowel to de-bond the dowel from the concrete. All Connolly Universal Dowel Sleeves allow for expansion and contraction at the joint. Square dowel sleeves also allow for lateral movement at the joint.

The Universal Dowel Sleeve is equipped with a patented, integrated support leg, which can be adjusted to suit multiple slab heights. This unique feature assists with accurate dowel alignment.

Utilising the patented twist-fix feature, Universal Dowel Sleeves work in conjunction with our range of Key Joints, Expansion Joints, and Straight Up Contraction Joints.

With the included nailing plate, they can also be connected to conventional formwork.

Injection moulded from polypropylene for accuracy and straightness, the UDS range minimises the vertical movement across the joint.

All our sleeves are colour coded for ease of identification.
