<br />
BD Loops Groove Cleaning Air Wand allows you to properly prepare saw-cut grooves for loop sealant according to the sealant manufacturer’s standards. Sealant manufacturers never recommend applying sealant in a wet environment. Use the air wand to help dry and clean the saw-cut groove from the bottom up. This is because the tip will fit into a groove as small as 3/16” wide.<br />
<br />
Completely drying the saw-cut groove will help prevent air pockets and bubbles from forming when sealant is applied. Water at the bottom of the groove can cause air bubbles to surface while the sealant is hardening making the seal look terrible and not fully encapsulating the wires. <br />
<br />
Drying the saw-cut groove before installing a saw-cut loop can help prevent the need for early replacement. Air pockets allow space for water to enter the saw-cut groove and saturate the wire which can cause the loop to fail and require replacement. If water enters the saw-cut groove and freezes (which causes the water to expand) the loop can be pushed up and out of the groove.<br />
<br />
The new BD Loops Air Wand combined with our preformed saw-cut loop, TB-Kit, and sealant tip will save installers even more time, money, and materials. Advantages include saving 15-20 minutes per loop in installation time.<br />
<b><br />
BD Loops Air Wand will be packaged in every BD Loops TB-Kit manufactured after 8/1/10.
