The CORK (Concrete Opening Repair Kit) is a simple to use labor savings device used to form slab and wall penetrations, core drills, abandoned pipe chases and layout sleeves ranging from 2” to 12” and up to 16” deep.
The CORK (Concrete Opening Repair Kit) is the newest, most innovative and fastest way to form slab and wall penetrations, core drills, abandoned pipe chases and layout sleeves ranging from 2” to 12” and up to 12” deep.
Within seconds you are ready to fill holes in both horizontal and vertical applications with your preferred product (concrete, grout, etc.).
Until the introduction of the CORK, the method for patching and filling holes has been to form the hole from below with plywood (once it has been located) off of ladders or lifts, go back up above and fill the hole with preferred product and then return the next day to go back downstairs and strip the plywood (which once again is done off of ladders or lifts) from the ceiling as it is combustible and not allowed to stay in the ceiling.
CORK is made of steel and aluminum which can be left behind in the ceiling. It is non-combustible and poses no potential fire hazard.
To use the CORK, you simply select the proper size device for the hole in the slab or wall you need to fill, push it through the opening, slide the reusable applicator into place, slide the reusable custom slip nut over the threaded rod and tighten by hand.
You are now ready to install reinforcing per specifications and fill the hole with your preferred product (concrete, grout, etc.) Once the product has hardened, simply break off the remaining all-thread at finish floor height by hand. No grinder is needed.
There are five CORK sizes available to provide coverage for holes ranging from 2” to 12” with plenty of overlap in between. The reusable applicators are painted safety yellow to identify construction activity and are elevated off the floor or wall to allow for optimal hand finishing of preferred products such as concrete or grout.
