Plastic Drill Template for Plastic Column Form (PCF), 20in

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 a convenient and efficient tool designed to assist users in drilling holes into the horizontal flanges of PCF for the purpose of joining PCF columns in a vertical manner. With this drill template, users can achieve quick, easy, and consistent hole drilling results.

The Plastic Drill Template is intended for use with the Plastic Column Form (PCF), which is a versatile and reusable form system used for concrete pouring. It is important to note that the height of the PCF is not the limiting factor, but rather the pour rate. Deslauriers, the manufacturer of the PCF system, recommends a pour rate not exceeding 1200psf or an 8-foot liquid head at 70°F. Concrete free fall should also be limited to a maximum of 5 feet.

The Plastic Drill Template features two sets of holes on the vertical flanges of the PCF. The inner 3 hole pattern allows for a tighter joint for higher pours of 4 feet or more, while the outer 2 hole pattern is sufficient for shorter pours, saving on labor. The outer holes, along with the center vertical rib, also allow for the attachment of bracing.

Users may also cut the Plastic Column Form to a custom size by using a hand saw or a Sawzall. However, cutting should be done between the double flange at the 4-foot level to maintain usability back to the 8-foot level.

When using the Plastic Column Form or the Plastic Drill Template, it is important to follow safety regulations and guidelines. The form should be inspected for any damage or cracks prior to each use, and indicators of nearing the usable limit include enlargement of bolt holes, cracks or splits on the form body or ribs, and noticeable separation of vertical flanges during a pour.

To clean the Plastic Column Form, a light coat of form release is recommended to prevent concrete buildup. Cleaning can be done using muriatic acid or a light power wash.

It is not advisable to use power tools to tighten bolts on the PCF, as over-tightening can create weak spots. Additionally, when attaching the PCF to a fiber tube, a section of the horizontal flange can be cut off and used as a clamp.

Nailing attachments to the Plastic Column Form is not recommended, as it may cause the form to split. Instead, drilling a pilot hole is advised. The use of external vibrators on the form should be avoided, as it can cause damage. If an internal vibrator is used, care should be taken to ensure it does not come into contact with the sides of the form.

In conclusion, the Plastic Drill Template for Plastic Column Form (PCF) is a valuable tool that enhances the efficiency and consistency of drilling holes into the PCF for the purpose of joining PCF columns vertically. It is designed to be used alongside the Plastic Column Form system, providing users with a reliable and reusable form solution for concrete pouring projects.
