Follow these instructions and installation of your Arrowjoint Expansion Joints will be simple and quick.

Measure your expansion joints to ensure a proper fit. They must be between 5/8 inch and 1 inch in width.

Measure the length of all the expansion joints. Arrowjoint is sold in 10' sections but it is packaged in up to 50' continuous length. Ordering 120' will yield 2 50' rolls and a 20' section.

Remove the old expansion joint materials using a pickaxe or a small chipping hammer.

Remove all the organic material that may rot further and cause a void under the Arrowjoint later.

Remove 2 inches minimum of debris from the expansion joint if there is no organic material remaining.

Nails can be removed by using the spade portion of the pickaxe and striking the back with a hammer.

Pour sand into the void up to 1 1/4 inches from the top. Compact the sand so you have a nice base for the Arrowjoint to reside upon. Fill any voids that may arise as you pour the sand into the joint.

Place the Arrowjoint flat side up and point into the expansion joint. Line the end of the Arrowjoint up with the end of the expansion joint. Use a deadblow hammer to install the Arrowjoint. Never pull on the Arrowjoint as it will stretch on install then constrict later back to original length.

Continue pounding the Arrowjoint in untill you reach the last foot of the expansion joint. Then take a pair of pipe cutters, pruning shears or a razor knife to cut the Arrowjoint to match the end of the expansion joint.

Finish pounding the last foot of Arrowjoint. Place sand or polymeric sand in any voids between the Arrowjoint and the concrete that may be remaining. Enjoy the new look.
