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 3/4" sleeve system is a patented concrete accessory engineered to enhance load transfer and slab performance in construction joints. Designed for use with 3/4" round smooth dowels, this system features an integrated one-piece sleeve and internal fins that enable lateral movement between concrete slabs while eliminating restraint. Its quick-install design with preinstalled nails and alignment marks simplifies form setup without the need for greasing or dowel removal. Ideal for slab-on-ground applications, it complies with ACI 302, ACI 330, and ACI 360 standards, offering a cost-effective and labor-saving alternative to traditional plate dowel systems.
