THE WORLD’SNUMBER ONEINJECTION HOSESYSTEMFUKO is a specially designed and patented solid core PVC InjectionHose System which is installed in concrete joints to waterproof andseal any cracks or voids in the joint area. The FUKO System sealsjoints watertight and offers a complete maintenance program ifleakage appears in the future. When Portland Cement, MicrofineCement, or Duroseal Injection Resins are selected, the FUKOSystem can be used for multiple re-injections – a significantadvantage over any other hose system available.

The FUKO Re-Injectable Hose System is a logical step forward inimproving waterstop technology. Utilizing this state-of-the-artinjection system results in “zero leak tolerance.” Easy to installand reasonably priced – FUKO simplifies the job and guarantees watertight joints.

RE-INJECTABLE

Utilizing its patented valve design, theFUKO System can be cleaned by usingwater and vacuum pressure to clear thehose for future injections.

MULTI-MATERIAL INJECTABLE

The FUKO System is suitable for a widerange of injection materials.

TESTING CAPABILITIES

The FUKO System can be used to “watertest” non-injected and injected joints forwater tightness in a safe and simple manner.Merely inject the FUKO Hose with water.

Concrete Pour

When the concrete is placed around the FUKOHose, the external pressure of the concrete seats the neoprene strips, sealing off injection openingsand the injection channel.

Injection

The internal injection pressure compresses the neoprene strips and allows the injection materialto flow out from eight longitudinal gaps. Thisenables a uniform discharge of the injectionmaterial over the full length of the hose.

Cleaning the Hose

When using an approved injection material, theFUKO Hose is easily flushed clean by using waterand applying vacuum pressure. The negative pressure reseats the neoprene strips, preventinginjected material from being drawn back into theinjection channel upon cleaning.

Ready for Future Injection

FUKO Injection System is ready for re-injection ifneeded.

Design Principle of FUKOInjection channel

Solid hose core made of high quality PVC.The core is capable of absorbing concretepressure, ensuring integrity of injectionchannel.

Lateral, staggered injection openings toensure uniform discharge of the injectionmaterial.

Compressible neoprene strips in the longitudinal grooves are a unique andextremely important element of the FUKOHose System. These strips act as valves during injection and as a seal while cleaning the tube for re-injection.

FUKO • Phase 1

The Greenstreak/BBZ FUKO Injection System is the leading edge waterstop system that canguarantee a 100% watertight joint. Its patented “valve” design technology makes FUKO theonly re-injectable injection hose system available today.

The FUKO Injection System offers a broad range of special features and benefits:

INTERNATIONAL ACCEPTANCE

FUKO has been successfully used in theUnited States and worldwide. It has over 15 years of international acceptance.

WORRY FREE MAINTENANCE

The ability to reinject FUKO provides a maintenance program to ensure a watertightjoint for the life of the structure.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION

FUKO is installed in the joint prior to the second pour and does not require split formwork.

FUKO Fabrication Fabrication of the FUKO Injection Hoserequires the following:◆ Cutting the FUKO Hose to desired length.

◆ Attach fiber reinforced PVC vent ends tothe FUKO Hose using connecting nozzles,rapid glue, and shrink on sleeves.

◆ Closure plugs are installed at the ends of the fiber reinforced PVC vent ends toprevent impurities from entering theFUKO Hose.

◆ FUKO is installed in lengths up to 33feet. This length includes the fiber rein-forced PVC ends. If longer lengths arerequired, please contact Greenstreak/BBZ.

◆ Provide a minimum of 2” concrete coverfor FUKO Hose.

◆ Minimum clearance between two parallelhose sections shall be 2” (see figure 1).

◆ Intersecting hoses are required in mostapplications. The injection portion of thehose must maintain intimate contact with the concrete; vent sections can beoverlapped (see figure 1).

◆ Secure the FUKO Hose to a flat, smoothconcrete surface using special plastic

FUKO 1 is for all standard construction joints.FUKO 2 is preferred if longer hose sections are necessary due to design parameters, or if an injection with cement grout(Portland cement and grout admixture) is to be carried out. Call Greenstreak/BBZ with any design or application questions.

clips or pipe clips every 8-10” on center(see figures 1 and 2). FUKO should notbe installed in a buckled or constricted manner, nor should it be attached to reinforcing bars.

◆ If injection of the FUKO Hose is required,the injection pump is connected to thePVC vent ends. Fiber reinforced PVC ventends should be exposed at the exterior in convenient, accessible locations for futureinjections. Junction boxes, nail packers,or simply continuing fiber reinforced ventends to the outside of the concrete can beutilized (see figure 3).

◆ When using junction boxes, continuefiber reinforced vent ends roughly 4” intothe junction box.

Injection Procedure1. FUKO can be injected after hardening of the concrete. Under normal

conditions, injections can be made after a 28-day minimum curing period.

2. Fill the FUKO Hose with the injection materials using a suitable injectionpump until the material flows out of the opposite PVC vent end. The injection material dictates pump requirements. In vertically positionedhoses, initial injections should be made from the lowest vent end, forcingmaterial upwards.

3. Close the vent end and resume injection. An injection held longer at lowpressure is usually more effective than a high pressure, rapid injection.

4. Once the material no longer flows into the joint and the pressure gaugeshows no or very little loss of pressure, maintain pressure for approximately2 minutes.

5. Be sure injection occurs within the workability or gel time of the injectionmaterial. Be sure to use approved injection materials if re-injection isrequired.

6. Any injection material remaining in the injection channel must be cleanedout prior to hardening or curing of the injection media.

7. To clean the FUKO Hose and fiber reinforced vent ends, apply a vacuum toone end of the vent hose while the other end is held in a container ofwater.

8. The FUKO Hose is prepared for future injections.

Injection MaterialsA suitable injection material must be selected according to the requirements of the joint. BBZ offers a variety of injection materials, includ-ing Multigel 850. Contact BBZ/Greenstreak for recommendations regarding injection materials.

Multigel 850 is a solvent-free acrylate resin, which swells up to 75% on contact with water. Multigel 850 is a low viscosity resin, whichpenetrates microfine cracks and capillaries to seal them permanently. It is resistant to acids, lyes and many solvents and fuels. Equipmentand tools contaminated with Multigel 850 can be easily cleaned with water.

DUROJECT for Single Injections Duroject is an economical injection hose for planned sealing of construction joints.Duroject enables a controlled injection of the construction joint and thus reliablewaterproofing. It is designed to deliver resin and microfine cements in a singleinjection. It is not for applications that may require subsequent injections.
