Connolly Flange Dowel Boxes are high quality galvanised steel sleeves which allows for expansion, contraction and lateral movement at construction joints in normal and heavy-duty industrial concrete floor slabs.
Designed to be used with Connolly square dowels, the box encases one half of the dowel to de-bond it from the concrete and are available in four standard sizes – 16mm, 20mm, 25mm and 32mm. Custom sizes are also available on request.
With V-notches on all sides, they can be easily and accurately installed on timber and steel formwork, ensuring perfect dowel alignment. The wide flange design ensures the dowel remains square to the formwork during the concrete pour.
