Product Description

Tapered plate dowel system for formed construction joints

The American Diamond™ system’s steel, diamond-shaped plate dowel, and ABS plastic pocket former system are precision-engineered to exacting tolerances. Designed for formed construction joints to minimize restraint and cracking, reduce joint spalling and long-term facility maintenance costs. The American Diamond™ system is a sustainable option that optimizes materials and reduces labor costs. 

The American Highway Dowel Optimizer™ should be used to provide the most sustainable, cost-effective design for the size and spacing of plate dowels for the specific application.
