Installation
Foundation Requirements
The TrafFix Water-Wall is free standing and only requires that the foundation support the weight of
the fully loaded sections. The foundations include concrete, asphalt, dirt and gravel.
Installation Instructions
The TrafFix Water-Wall will be delivered in two pieces. The first piece will be the water wall
barrier section with the twist lock fill cap and the buttress threaded drain plug installed. The
second piece will be the galvanized steel T-pin with the keeper pin installed.
Proper site planning will have identified the required quantity and placement of the TrafFix Water-
Wall. The sections should be removed from the transport vehicle using safe lifting and movement
procedures and emplaced as planned.
At the end of each TrafFix Water-Wall are vertical interlocking knuckles. Within the knuckles are a
series of vertical concentric holes as seen in Figure 2 (or pg. 16). When linking individual TrafFix
Water-Walls together, the knuckle holes are vertically aligned with the adjacent TrafFix Water-Wall.
This creates a series of eight vertical knuckles interlinked together with a vertical connecting T-pin
which is dropped through the concentric aligned holes. Located at the bottom of each T-pin is a
safety keeper pin which is inserted into the alignment hole at the bottom of each T-pin as seen in
Figure 2. The keeper pin must be inserted to finalize the installation on each wall section. The lower
end of the T-pin is approximately 2-1/2” above the grade surface as seen in Figure 2 to insure
that the pin is fully inserted.
