Speed Dowel Plus is a patented slip dowel installation system that provides load transfer across construction joints and immediately accommodates lateral and axial movement produced by concrete shrinkage and differential slab movement.
Sika Speed Dowel Plus 1" is a round dowel sleeve system designed to provide superior alignment and load transfer for slab-on-ground concrete joints. Featuring an integral one-piece sleeve with patented internal fins, it eliminates lateral restraint while allowing joint movement due to slab shrinkage. The 1" sleeve installs quickly with no need for greasing, drilling, or dowel manipulation. Designed in compliance with ACI 302, ACI 330, and ACI 360 standards, this system reduces installation time, saves labor, and improves long-term joint performance in commercial, industrial, and exterior concrete slabs.
