Secure KingStop End Cap in place by nailing it below the flange to the expansion board. SITE WELDING The key to a leak free waterstop network is correct onsite jointing. KingStop End Cap is made of thermoplastic PVC, and can be easily welded using suitable heating processes, such as welding knife. Cut the edges to be welded in a sharp and straight line then secure the ends in a welding jig. Use the welding knife between the ends, until an even, molten bead appears. Remove the welding knife and press the ends firmly together. Consult KINGKRETE technical departments for further details.
