Installation requirements
Use approved epoxy and follow the current model-specific installation instructions. Drill an installation hole 24 mm in diameter and 65 mm deep.
Installation and site preparation
- Ensure your work environment is safe and measures are in place to keep traffic away from your work crew and ensure the safety of yourself and your workers
- Identify and mark installation position, ensure installation position is according to the road authority standards, improper placement of road studs can cause confusion to drivers and lead to accidents
- Drill hole in asphalt on marked position at least 24mm dia x 65mm deep (a 26mm SDS Max drill bit is advisable)
- Ensure hole is clean and dry and free of any debris, any obstruction in the hole will hamper the proper and secure installation of the road stud, any oil or other chemicals on the road surface with prevent epoxy resin glue from adhering properly
- Mix two part epoxy resin glue (open both containers in the kit, add the small tubby to the big one - properly mix inside the big tub), and place enough epoxy onto hole, push shank of stud through epoxy glue into hole ensuring enough epoxy to completely cover underside of stud and secure the shank in the hole, always use gloves when working with epoxy resin
- Align the stud properly so lens face oncoming traffic, wrong alignment of the road stud will look real bad and minimize the effectiveness of the retro reflective lens
- Scrape away any extra epoxy glue and return to glue pot for later use, take care not to get any epoxy glue onto stud lens
- Inspect Installation to ensure quality workmanship
- Protect stud from traffic until epoxy glue is dry, this will take about one hour depending on the ambient temperature and type of epoxy glue used
- Always: Work safe, Work accurate, Work fast
