Installation Instructions
Speed Bumps, Speed Humps & End Caps:
Leave 1”- 3” between Speed Bumps for drainage and expansion. Product can be cut with a utility knife if necessary
Use both Adhesive & Hardware for installation under the following conditions:
- More than 4 trips per day with heavy trucks (e.g. garbage trucks).
- Installation on an incline
- All Speed Hump installations
Caution:
- Not designed for speeds over 15 mph.
- Sweepers must raise brushes before driving over.
- Remove Speed Bumps and Speed Humps when snowplows are in use.
Position Speed Bump, Speed Hump, End Caps or Parking Stop and mark holes
ASPHALT INSTALLATION
Use 5/8” washers and 14”x 1/2” rebar spikes. For Speed Humps, also use adhesive.
- Drill 1/2 ” diameter pilot holes through asphalt, to depth of 3”.
- Clean installation area. Put product in place. Put washers in place.
- Start all spikes before completely setting any.
CONCRETE INSTALLATION
Use lag bolts with washer and shield. 4 1/2” for Speed Bumps & Humps, 6” for Parking Stops. For Speed Humps, also use adhesive.
-
Drill 3/4” holes, 2” deep and insert shield (threaded end goes in first).
For maximum expansion the shield should protrude slightly above concrete surface before setting. -
Clean installation area. Put product in place. Put washers in place.
-
Put bead of adhesive on leading edges of Speed Humps and End Caps.
-
Insert lag screw – start all lags before tightening any. Tighten with wrench until firm resistance is felt
ADHESIVE INSTALLATION
(Parking garages: adhesive alone is enough)
- Prepare rubber product: Brush holes and blow out debris. Wire brush the bottom to remove any residue from the mold release used in the manufacturing process.
- Put rubber product in place. Mark perimeter and drill holes (if using hardware).
- Use 10 ounces of construction grade adhesive such as PL Premium Polyurethane, or a 2-tube epoxy, such as Simpson ET-22. Buy these products locally. Epoxy dries hard, while Urethane remains flexible. Use whichever product is appropriate for your application.
- Prepare installation surface as per adhesive directions.
- Mix enough epoxy for one installation or use a 10 oz. tube of PL Premium.
- Fill the installation holes to 2” from top with adhesive.
- Apply adhesive to bottom of Speed Bump/Speed Hump/Car Stop. Set in place.
- Install washers and hardware (see instructions above).
- If using adhesive only, place sandbags on top until adhesive is dry to prevent unexpected movement of product.
- Allow settng and curing time according to adhesive directions.
