Staisil-HLD Acoustic Shear Dowel Shear load dowels offering a 27% impact sound reduction over rigid concrete floor connections ently Independ tested to 10: 140: 3: 20 EN ISO 10 ent Measurem nd sou of impact n insulatio

Staisil-HLD Innovative, high performance, easy-to-install, Acoustic Dowel to dampen impact noise in multi-storey developments by decoupling concrete components, replacing rigid floor connections at locations such as stairs, landings and walkways. Ancon Acoustic Dowel The Ancon Staisil-HLD Acoustic Dowel is designed to transfer shear load and allow essential movement at joints in concrete frames, while also reducing the oscillation of impact sound through a building, by isolating adjacent concrete elements. The 22mm diameter stainless steel dowel bar is located in a sound absorbing sleeve that...

Installation The Staisil-HLD is a two-part shear connector comprising a sleeve and a dowel component. 1 Nail the sleeve component to the shuttering ensuring that the sleeve is correctly orientated for the direction of the load. Check that the minimum spacing and edge distances are not exceeded. The label prevents debris from entering into the sleeve aperture and should not be removed. Fix all necessary reinforcement and pour the concrete. When the concrete has achieved sufficient strength, strike the shuttering. Puncture the label to reveal the hole for the dowel. Position compressible joint...
