Maintenance free The key to our system is a centering bar which consists
systems for floor, of two wear resistant spheres fastened at opposite ends of
a flat spring steel bar. These act as lubrication free bearings,
floor-to-wall, wall, minimising wear on the aluminium and brass tracks in which the
ceiling, roof, carparks mechanism constantly moves. The bars are positioned diagonally
across the joint opening. The spring steel centering bar holds the
& roadway applications cover plate central and the fixing screws tight. Illustrated: CA-25V
When you select Latham Flexible Mechanical Expansion Joint Covers, and have a special configuration fabricated, you are taking
advantage of a unique solution to the problem of keeping joint covers firmly anchored despite movement between sections of
concrete flooring. This ensures a long-lasting, trouble free and stable floor base.
The mechanical expansion joint covers are designed to permit multi-directional six-way movement. The cover unit is free to move
horizontally, vertically, and horizontally in shear without damaging the surrounding concrete and paving, deforming the cover plate
or shearing the screws holding the cover plate in place.
Whatever your project, Latham Flexible Mechanical Expansion Joint Covers are available and can be fabricated to almost any
width or required joint movement.
Optional water gutters or fire barriers are part of the totally trouble free full joint system.
All Latham Mechanical Expansion Joint Covers unless otherwise detailed are designed for normal pedestrian applications. If the
application is heavier e.g. high traffic areas like railway stations or airports or where heavier loads may transverse the joint cover,
see the heavy duty and vehicular ranges, consult Latham Australia to specify a suitable cover thickness.
All Latham Expansion Joint Covers offer various amounts of movement as indicated by the symbols associated with systems and
the related tables detailed below. All systems will accommodate general thermal expansion and contraction and shrinkage as
indicated. In some cases depending on the requirements of the structure, standard systems also will allow seismic movement,
although in applications where a structure has been designed to accommodate extreme seismic movement the Latham Seismic
Range of expansion joint covers should be considered. More information can be found on pages 60-64.

2-way movement 4-way movement 4-way movement 6-way movement
Note 1: Movement referred to in this publication should be viewed in the following way. The + (positive) factor refers to the effec-
tive amount the joint cover can extend (the joint in the slab increases in width), whilst the (minus) factor refers to the effective
amount the joint cover can contract (the joint in the slab decreases in width). These are effective movements, the systems may be
effected by load and traffic volume and other circumstances, which may require a larger or heavier system to be considered. All
movements shown in the tables refer to the expansion joint cover being in its standard installation configuration A (as detailed in
tables). Altering the installation position will alter the available movement, but will not alter the total available movement.
Systems also offer vertical movement and horizontal shear as indicated by the relevant symbol associated to the particular joint
cover. The amount of this is dependant on the system and the joint width. Consult Latham Australia for further information in rela-
tion to a specific joint cover.
Note 2 : All specifications, should be written in conjunction with Optional Extras and the Expansion Joint specifications on
pages 6-7 and 68-69 respectively of this publication.
Note 3: For confirmation of cover plate thickness for profiles in this publication that refer to more than 1 cover plate type, refer
to the actual technical drawing relating to the required expansion joint cover. Contact your Latham Australia Pty Ltd technical
representative for further details, or visit our website www.latham-australia.com.

Product Information
Materials
Metals
Extrusions used in Latham Expansion Joint Covers are aluminium 6063-T5 & T6 mill finish alloy, brass 380 mill finish alloy or stain-
less steel decks, Type 304 Grade, 2B finish to 3mm thick, thicker stainless steel decks are supplied in No.1 finish. On request other
stainless steel finishes are available if specified at time of order and subject to minimum order quantites.
When expansion joint covers are being installed in areas of high temperature change or in continuous runs, special consideration
should be given to thermal expansion of the metal components, which is approximately 0.025mm per metre, per degree Celsius of
temperature change. Allowances should be made accordingly for side members and particularly cover plates during installation.
Vinyl
All vinyl plastic extrusions used are polyvinyl chloride (thermoplastic). This material has extreme versatility; it is light weight,
strong, tough and inert to most chemicals. It is a metallic grey colour in most profiles, blending with our standard finishes. Other
colours may be available for large volume orders or as detailed on the specific product page in this catalogue. Some expansion
joint inserts are supplied with neoprene or santoprene inserts.
Finishes
Coatings
Titazel PE31, is a protective coating applied to all steel members to protect and control electrolytic action.
Clear Anodised
20 micron finish is standard for all wall and ceiling visually exposed cover units, with the exception of the M, ML, MSM and MLSM
Series which are supplied mill finish unless otherwise specified.
Protective Tape
All exposed anodised aluminium surfaces will be supplied covered with protective film/tape to be removed on application.
Materials covered with protective tape should not be subjected to prolonged sunlight or extreme temperatures and the tape should
be removed within 30 days of delivery.
Cover Plates
All aluminium, brass and stainless steel floor cover plates are discretely stamped on the surface close to one end as manufactured
by Latham Australia, which ensures installed material can be identified in the future and is the clients confirmation that the speci-
fied product has been installed.
Standard Product Lengths

All material is supplied standard in the following full lengths: Aluminium Standard and Heavy Duty Series 3050mm, Aluminium
Light Duty Series 4000mm, Brass 4000mm, Stainless Steel Decks 3050mm.

Components
Spring Steel Centering Bars
The spheres attached to the spring steel centering bars act as nylon bearings, mini-

mising wear and tear of the embedded cylindrical channel members. The centring bars are specially treated and produced from
specially hardened spring steel. Light tension from the cover plate to the centring bar, through the screw, reduces the likelihood
of the screw becoming loose. All Latham spring steel centering bars are treated with Titazel PE-22 coating or Titazel PE-20 zinc
coating to assist in protecting the centring bars from moisture etc. Most centring bar screws are supplied to suit a small Phillips
head screwdriver to help ensure the system is not over tightened causing the centering bars to lock and possibly snap.
Anchors
CA-16 aluminium/BM-16 brass block-out or CA-6 aluminium/BS-6 brass cast-in type anchors in standard
applications are installed at 500mm centres on both sides of the embedded members. CA-16 aluminium/ CA-6
BM-16 brass block-out anchors will be supplied unless otherwise specified. To specify CA-6 aluminium/BS-6
CA-16
brass cast-in anchors for ranges suited to these angles specify Latham Mechanical Expansion
Joint Cover Type with CA-6/BS-6 cast-in anchors. Latham Australia recommend that all
embedded aluminium members be coated with Tnemec PZ9 protective coating (optional extra) CCA-16
- see page 7.
Fixing Holes and Locations CCA-6

Most expansion joint covers are supplied with side members pre-drilled to suit fixing sizes as indicated on the
relevant joint series page in this publication.
Splices
Where applicable to the joint type specified, CA-16 block-out or CA-6 cast-in splices are supplied to assist with
positive alignment of aluminium embedded members. Latham Australia recommend that all embedded aluminium
members be coated with Tnemec PZ9 protective coating (optional extra) - see page 7.
FC2 Form Clips

For cast-in place installations FC2 form clips allow the embedded member with anchor to be set accurately on the
6 form work. These can be supplied when CA-6 cast-in anchors have been specified (optional extra).
Optional Extras
Tnemec PZ9 Protective Coating
A coating applied to aluminium surfaces that are to be embedded in cement, Tnemec PZ9
protective coating should be considered to minimise corrosion and electrolytic reaction
with embedded members. Latham Australia recommend the use of Tnemec PZ9 for all
embedded sections, particularly externally and in areas where water or moisture is com-
mon. Specify with Tnemec PZ9 Protective Coating.
Slip Resistant Surfaces

A re-surfacable slip resistant coating can be applied to most of the aluminium, stainless
Fax: +61 2 9879 7666 Phone: +61 2 9879 7888
steel and brass cover plates. Slip resistant coating when specified will be supplied in
black colour unless otherwise specified. Other coating colours available. Contact your
Latham Australia technical representative. Specify with re-surfacable slip resistant
coating.
Powder Coating/Anodising
Powder coating or anodising can be applied to all exposed aluminium surfaces. Latham
Australia does not recommend powder coating or anodising for floor or floor to wall
expansion joint covers, as the surfaces are often easily scratched by foot traffic. Specify
type of coating and colour required. Interior/exterior wall and exterior roof joint covers,
can be successfully powder coated or anodised to harmonize with the surrounding fin-
ishes. Contact your Latham Australia Pty Ltd technical representative for further details.
Protective Tape Coating

Available for all mill finish exposed products. Specify with protective tape coating.
Water Gutter
Available for most Latham expansion joint covers (available with all ranges that carry
( ) symbol in the description), Latham expansion joint water barriers are made of high
quality flexible PVC for the VWS Series, and Neoprene for the BFG Series. Water barriers
are furnished in continuous lengths where possible to reduce field splicing.
While exterior wall covers effectively keep most water out of the joint, wind, blowing rain
and seepage require the use of water barrier at exterior joints. Water barriers are also
suggested for interior floors subject to mopping and washing. Specify V after the prod-
uct code for water barrier e.g. CA-25V.
At exterior walls, water should drain freely to the exterior at the base of the joint cover.
When difficult drain points occur in roof and floor joints, a flexible PVC drain tube may be
installed allowing drainage to building drain systems.
Fabricated Metal Sections

Latham Australia recommend that all corners, cross overs and tees, be factory fabricated
for effective performance. See page 57 for further details.

Cutting to Length and Factory Assembly

All expansion joint ranges can be factory cut from full lengths to site supplied mea-
surements if required, at extra cost. All recessed and surface mounted expansion joint
covers can be factory assembled for quicker installation if required. Specify factory
assembled. Note: some profiles need to be assembled on site.
Packing and Bedding Compound

Latham Australia recommend a high strength non shrink grout be used for filling all
recesses for standard pedestrian joint covers. Higher strength epoxy grout should be
used in special and extreme conditions including all vehicular applications.
Mechanical Fixings
Fixings are not supplied by Latham Australia. Suitable fixings for your application should
be sourced, ensuring the expansion joint cover is securely fixed to the structural slab at
the indicated centres on the relevant page of this publication for the joint cover selected.
Latham Australia Fire & Smoke Barriers

Latham Fire & Smoke Barriers should be used with Latham Expansion joint covers to
provide systems with 2 and 4 hour fire ratings. Latham Fire & Smoke Barriers can be used
with most Latham wall, ceiling and block out type floor expansion joint covers. Latham
Australia Fire & Smoke Barriers allow expansion and contraction, vertical shear and lim-
ited horizontal shear movement. Contact Latham Australia Pty Ltd for installation criteria.
Fire rated wall joint covers are available for gypsum wall board and masonry construction.
See pages 66-67 for further details.
