SlabGasket
Installation Tip Sheet
SlabGasket comes in many sizes:
Regular Shorty
1/2”
3/4”
7/8”
1-1/8”
3/4”
7/8”
The most common size (7/8”), designed to replace a 1” x 4” expansion joint, is the size used by
93% of our customers
SlabGasket cuts easily with garden pruning shears, a sharp pocket knife, or a box cutter.
Preparation:
a. First clean out the expansion joint. You probably have a tool at home to do this. People have
used tire tools, long screwdrivers, etc.
b. You may encounter the occasional nail when cleaning out the expansion joint. Be careful
when removing these items. Wear safety eyewear! It is suggested that you use a hacksaw blade
to weaken the edge of a nail before removing it. Otherwise, the nail may be strong enough to
break your concrete if you attempt to pry it without cutting it.
c. Small chunks of concrete are easily chipped out with a hammer and chisel. Again, wear
protective eye wear!
Installation:
a. Lay the length of SlabGasket along the expansion joint. Press one end into place to secure
then move down the length of the piece pressing down every few inches.
