Plastic Drill Template for Plastic Column Form (PCF), 18in

This is a tool that helps the user of PCF drill holes into the horizontal flanges in a quick, easy and consistent manner for the purpose of adjoining PCF columns in a vertical fashion.
 


The Plastic Drill Template for Plastic Column Form (PCF) is an essential tool for anyone working with PCF columns in a vertical fashion. This tool allows users to drill holes into the horizontal flanges of the PCF in a quick, easy, and consistent manner, ensuring a secure joining of the columns.

With the Plastic Drill Template, users can save time and effort by eliminating the need for manual measurement and guesswork. The template provides precise hole placements, allowing for efficient assembly and alignment of the PCF columns.

To ensure the longevity of the PCF, it is important to follow the recommended guidelines. For example, the height of the pour should not exceed 1200psf or an 8-foot liquid head at 70°F. Additionally, concrete should not be free-fallen more than 5 feet. These guidelines help maintain the structural integrity and reusable life of the PCF.

The Plastic Column Form features two sets of holes on the vertical flanges. The inner three-hole pattern is ideal for higher pours, while the outer two-hole pattern is suitable for shorter pours. This design saves on labor and provides flexibility in construction.

It is important to note that the Plastic Column Form cannot be used for bull-nosed applications, as the pressure exerted by the length could cause blow-out. For this purpose, a steel column form is recommended.

To brace the Plastic Column Form, a template can be used at the bottom along with a wood 2x4 or turnbuckle for stability. Adherence to safety regulations and standards, such as those set by OSHA and ANSI, is essential.

To maintain the quality of the Plastic Column Form, it is recommended to store it in a shaded area or cover it to protect it from long-term ultraviolet exposure. The form can be cleaned using muriatic acid or a light power wash, while a light coat of form release helps prevent concrete buildup.

When tightening bolts, it is important to avoid over-tightening, as it can create weak spots. Power tools can be used with caution, and hand tightening or using a washer as a backup are advised.

If attaching the Plastic Column Form to a fiber tube, a section of the PCF's horizontal flange can be cut to clamp onto the top of the tube. This allows for a secure attachment that can be reused multiple times.

Attachments should be drilled into the Plastic Column Form to prevent splitting, and external vibrators should not be used to avoid damaging the form. Care should also be taken when using an internal vibrator to prevent contact with the sides of the form.

Overall, the Plastic Drill Template for Plastic Column Form (PCF) is a valuable tool that ensures precise and efficient drilling, making the assembly of PCF columns seamless and secure.
