ALCP-Series Cover Plates Description The ALCP-Sereis aluminum cover plates are designed especially for areas where no flooring material is used.

3 ALCP-Series Cover Plates Description The ALCP-Sereis aluminum cover plates are designed especially for areas where no flooring material is used. The cover plate bridges the joint gap with minimal preparation for maximum protection. All of the cover plate selections are compliant with ADA requirements. The ALCP Series is made from 6061-T5 aluminum alloy that is secured on one side of the floor by pre-drilled, countersunk holes, anchored into the concrete. The anchors are set into a bed of epoxy adhesive to assure a sound anchor. Recommended areas for use include warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail spaces, and stock rooms, where the finished floor is concrete. Additionally, they are used in architectural applications where the cover plate must provide safe passage over expansion joint voids and must also accent the interior application. Optional accents such as color anodize and EPDMlooped moisture barriers are available. LEED Credits - One (1) LEED credit depending on the location of the project. Features and Benefits Ease of Installation The layout of the anchor holes along the edge of the plate is a simple process. String line a straight edge parallel to the joint opening. Align the plate holes over the center of the string line and match drill for the anchors. Remove the plate. Clean out all the dust and debris. Place plate into position and install anchors. Designed For Top Mount or Recessed Either application may be accommodated. Each side has the required ADA slope for the thickness of the plate used. Tested To ASTM D-1399 The design was tested in compression, tension, and deflection for 500 cycles. No loss of anchors was noted. Meets ADA Dictates The ALCP Series profiles are engineered to meet ADA standards for pedestrian concerns. Plate Width Concrete Anchor Install Width PRODUCT INSTALL WIDTH IN (MM) MAX.

4 ALCP-Series (Aluminum Cover Plate) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Cover Plates The following installation procedure is very important and must be fully understood prior to beginning any work. To ensure proper installation and performance of the aluminum cover plate system the following must be completed by the installing contractor. Failure to do so will affect product warranty. Material Preparation 1. Carefully read and understand installation procedure. Contact Technical Service Department ( ) for product assistance. 2. Inspect all shipments and materials for missing or damaged components and hardware. Contact Customer Service ( ) with order number for prompt assistance. 3. Inspect substrate or adjacent construction for acceptance before beginning work. Report unacceptable construction to the project manager for scheduled repair work. Material Installation 1.5 Joint Opening 1. Position aluminum cover plate as shown and mark location for 3/8 dia anchor. EMS, Inc * Main Road, Akron, NY * * sales@eriemetal.com * 1

5 Material Installation Cover Plates 2. Drill and clean out holes for 3/8 dia threaded concrete anchor spaced at 12 O.C. Fill hole with two part epoxy (supplied by others). 3/8 x 3 lg threaded concrete anchor 3. After holes have been filled with epoxy, insert 3/8 threaded concrete anchors into aligned holes and fasten coverplate to finished floor surface. 2 EMS, Inc * Main Road, Akron, NY * * sales@eriemetal.com *

6 Material Installation Cover Plates 3/8 x 3 lg threaded concrete anchor Joint Opening 4. For corner condition Following same procedure as for floor-to-floor installation, except use cover plate for floor-to-wall condition. 5. Exterior Installation: At 50 increments, leave 3/8 gap to allow for thermal expansion of coverplate. This is done to ensure that the coverplate has enough room for thermal expansion/contracting and will not warp the coverplate. 3 EMS, Inc * Main Road, Akron, NY * * sales@eriemetal.com *
