Product Components and General Specifications
The TrafFix Water-Wall sections are Orange or White in color and have an outer shell
made from virgin low density polyethylene (LDPE) and have a water capacity of 122 gallons
[462 liters]. The polyethylene material is durable and recyclable and will break up in large
sections upon impact. It will not crack or corrode when left on the job site or stored for long
periods of time.

Each TrafFix Water-Wall section
contains an eight inch diameter
water fill-hole located on the top
surface of each wall section. This large diameter opening allows easy access for water filling using a
water tanker truck or large diameter hose. Each TrafFix Water-Wall section comes with a twist lock
lid to cover the fill hole opening when the water filling process is complete. An optional water level
indicator built into the twist lock lid is available to show the section is properly filled (refer to pg. 10).
For draining, each TrafFix Water-Wall section has a centrally located drain hole designed at the bottom
of each wall section. Each drain hole contains molded-in Buttress threads. The drain plug requires
1-1/2 turns to seal the plug preventing any water leaks. The molded-in Buttress threads eliminate the
possibility of cross threading compared to standard threads used in a spin welded insert. Cracked spin
welded inserts may require repair and are typically not reliable, leading to water leaks. The TrafFix
Water-Wall, with its molded in Buttress threads, eliminates both issues of cross threading and insert
repair.
There are two forklift pockets located at grade level for lifting. Only these through holes should be
used to lift the TrafFix Water-Wall as identified in Figure 1 (or pg. 15).
