The Most Tested Expansion Joints in the Industry
AEFC

PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Product Description

The EMS rugged aluminum extruded retainers support the colorable Santoprene® elastomeric gland that snap fits into the aluminum retainer. The gland is available in several standard colors; beige, black, gray and off-white. We are able to color match on request if our standard colors do not fit your color scheme. 

Our architectural systems bridge the joint gap with minimal preparation for maximum protection. All of the EMS cover plate selections are compliant with the standards set forth by the ADA. A self-centering aluminum plate provides center support for high-heeled foot traffic during the entire cyclic range of movement.

The AEFC series is made from 6061-T5 or 6063-T6 aluminum alloy extrusions that are secured to the floor with hex head concrete screws drilled into the concrete.

Recommended areas for usage include offices, retail spaces, hospitals, casinos, airports, and shopping malls.

Optional accents such as color anodize, EPDM-looped moisture barriers and fire barriers are also available. Contact EMS for pricing.

Features and Benefits

  • Ease of Installation – The layout of the anchor points along the edge of the extrusion is a simple process. String line a straight edge parallel to the joint opening. Align the extrusion along the string and drill in the concrete Tap-Con screws. Clean out all the dust and debris; align the center plate into position.
  • Tested To ASTM D-1399 – The design was tested in compression, tension and deflection for 500 cycles.
  • Seal Meets ADA Dictates – The AEFC-Series profiles are engineered to meet ADA standards, for pedestrian concerns.
  • Flat Uniform Closure - This system remains flush during all phases of thermal movement.

Physical Properties

The flexible water shield is made from an EPDM material meeting ASTM C864, with a 1700-psi tensile, 65A durometer hardness and 225% elongation.

The aluminum cover plate is made of ASTM 6061-T5 or 6063-T6 grade material.
