You've
been around the block once or twice to
know that it's impossible to "glue" any
type of structural crack together using
epoxy pressure injection systems.
Repairing cracks is not rocket science
and the product you choose either fixes
the crack or it doesn't.
Enter
Torque Lock™, the new revolution
to structural crack repair.
Using Torque Lock™ Staples along
with a quality epoxy (supplied
with the kits) can help you
repair your concrete cracks, easily
repair basement cracks, fracture lines
in your foundations, driveways, walls,
seawalls or any other structural crack.
For example, water leaking through a
basement can place a serious financial
burden on the owner of the home to
replace the damage, since large volumes
of water can be detrimental to the
structural integrity.
Another
example, water leakage through
the floor or wall of a swimming
pool can soften the soil in
which the pool is embedded and
cause weakness in the support of
the pool. They can also weaken
the structural integrity of the
pool structure itself. Similar
problems result from these in
other types of cement
structures, such as dams,
bridges, and seawalls.
A variety of different conventional
approaches have been attempted, but with
little success. For example, epoxy
injection although these types of
sealants are largely insoluble in water,
they cannot be forced deep into cracks.
And, such conventional materials do not
adequately bond to the adjacent surfaces
of fractures in the concrete. At the
most, epoxy sealants will only form a
surface patch over the problem. Water
will eventually seep in and around the
temporary patch and escape through the
cracks in the concrete. In order to
provide a rock solid repair, you must
stabilize the crack, and as we
previously stated, epoxy alone is not
strong enough to stabilize a crack from
widening.
When Torque Lock™ Staples are combined
with epoxy, you can rest assure that the
structure has been stabilized and fixed,
permanently. The Torque Lock™ Staple is
a revolutionary "concrete stitching"
technique that is great for repairing
structural cracks on any solid cement
based surface. Using its patented Cam
Lock™ technique, it stabilizes the crack
by creating up to 5000 lbs of
compression torque for each staple
installed and keeps those 1/4" fractures
from becoming a 1/2" fractures.

Repairing Corner Cracks - NEW!!! |
|
Now you can
use the same type of Torque-Lock
Technology to repair structural,
concrete cracks, that occur in
corners, as opposed to pool
floor or wall locations.
Used in a similar manner, the
staples are set an either a 45°
radius (angle) or a 90° radius
(right angle). Depending
on the angles of the walls,
coming together in a corner, one
or the other of these two kits
should help you repair the
problem. The two
kits can repair corner cracks,
up to 5 feet or 1,55 meters in
length and include everything
required to make a rock-solid
repair. They are used in a
manner similar, to that of the
standard Torque-Lock staples. |
|
How To Use Torque-Lock Staples |
 |
Step 1.
Using the
template
provided,
trace and
mark cutouts
along crack
approximately
every 12
inches,
where the
Torque-Lock
Staple will
be
installed,
Alternate
between
large and
small
templates.
Use a pencil
to mark the
circles, to
indicate the
location for
the holes to
be drilled
on both
sides of the
crack.
|
 |
Step 2.
Drill into
structure a
minimum of
4-inches
deep using a
1/2-inch.
masonry bit,
where the
holes were
position in
step 1. Use
a masonry
saw, to cut
into the
surface
along the
previously
marked
lines.
Make the
cuts
approximately
2-inches
deep and
chip out the
inside of
the
rectangular
shaped area,
in order to
provide a
recessed
space for
the staples.
Drilling
deeper, than
the
recommended
depth of
4-inches,
will not
affect the
performance
of the
Torque Lock
Staples.
Do not chip
out an area
more than
2-inches
deep.
|
 |
Step 3.
Assemble the
Torque-Lock
Staples,
before hand.
Using the
epoxy
provided, apply
some into
the
previously
drilled
holes.
Using both
hands, push
the pins
into the
holes,
drilled in
the previous
step. Push
the Torque
Lock Staple,
back towards
the concrete
surface,
until the
plate is
recessed
approximately
1.5–2 inches
into the
wall.
Tap with a
hammer, if
required
ands make
sure the
staple is
uniformly
positioned.
Avoid
getting
epoxy on the
Cam or
Locking
Plate.
|
 |
Important.
Make sure that the ratchet
square is facing inward, as
shown, when positioning the
Torque-Lock Staples. |
 |
Step 4.
Make sure
that the
epoxy has
set up.
Read the
label for
the
manufacturer
product
instructions.
Use a torque
wrench and a
3/8th’s
ratchet
attachment
and insert
into the
ratchet
square.
Tighten
clockwise,
not
exceeding
180°, until 40
pounds of
torque is
reached.
Do not
tighten more
than
40-pounds of
torque
pressure and
do not turn
the torque
wrench more
than 180°.
|
|
|
Step 5.
Use a carbide or diamond masonry
blade, to open the crack,
between the installed staples,
into a slight "V" shape. Clean
out crack and cut outs, removing
all dust and debris. |
 |
Step 6.
Using a
non-shrinking,
hydraulic
cement) fill
in crack and
cut outs.
Trowel to
tightly pack
in cement,
taking care
not to leave
and voids
and leaving
the repaired
area smooth
and ready
for
refinishing.
You can
cover over
the repaired
area(s) with
any
finishing
product,
that best
matches the
surrounding
area:
plaster,
aggregate
finishes,
paint, tile,
marcite,
cool deck,
etc.
