Application of Pour Stop:

A Basic Understanding of Edge Form. Edge form is a gauge steel angle used to contain or hold concrete at or around the perimeter of a floor. Often it is also referred to as a pour stop or screed. The right angle walls create a stopping point for a poured concrete slab. Pour stop edge form is typically used around the perimeter and any interior openings in the floor.

● Pour stop is a crucial element for achieving a neat and structurally sound concrete slab.
● While the concept is simple, understanding pour stop's role is vital for anyone involved in metal deck applications.
● Coordination is key. It's essential to clearly define who supplies and installs the pour stop to avoid confusion and delays on the job site. This information should be specified in the project documents.
● Pour stop thickness varies depending on slab depth and overhang. Refer to the Pour Stop Selection Table for guidance on appropriate gauges.
● Proper fastening of pour stop is crucial. This usually involves welding or using mechanical fasteners, and the Steel Deck Institute's Standard Practice Details provide specific instructions on attachment methods.
● Pay close attention to pour stop details on shop drawings to ensure correct installation.
