

Insert the dowel into the socket in the upper panel  while
the panel is still suspended from the crane.
The internal diameter of the HFV 5 Socket is designed to
hold the dowel in place. The HFV-K Plastic cap can be used
with the HFV 1 Slotted socket to secure the dowel.
A tool must be used to hold the dowel with other socket
types .
While slowly lowering the upper panel  the dowels slide
into the sockets of the previously installed lower panel .
Ensure that the dowels slide into the sockets correctly;
avoid contact with the lower concrete slab to prevent any
damage (spalling). The panel is subsequently adjusted .
Caution! Risk of injury!
NEVER put your hand UNDER the suspended
precast panel!

Check the correct orientation of the dowel if using the
HFV 2 Slotted steel socket or the HFV 1 Slotted plastic
socket. The dowel has to be upright!
6. Securing the panel
The panel must be secured in position until the mortar has
completely hardened  (e.g. using wooden wedges bet-
ween the precast panel elements and the main structure or
by using an ancillary-aid in the horizontal joint).
