Pro-Slot™ Dovetail Anchor Slot

PRO-SLOT™ Anchor Slot is a stay-in-place concrete form used in forming a channel into the face of any cast in place wall or column. By installing Dovetail Anchors into the PRO-SLOT™, you can then anchor brick, block or stone to the concrete surface.

Materials

BoMetals galvanized PRO-SLOT™ Anchor Slot is manufactured of G60 hot dipped mill galvanized steel in 18, 22, 24 and 26 gauge. PRO-SLOT™ is offered standard in 10′ lengths with custom lengths available on a special order basis. BoMetals PRO-SLOT™ is standard with a polystyrene foam filler to keep the channel clear of concrete and resist closure due to hydraulic pressure. It is also available without a polystyrene foam. PRO-SLOT™ incorporates continuous nail grooves along the back edge of the profile to help in nailing the slot to the forms.

Dovetail Anchors are manufactured in 16 gauge hot dipped, galvanized steel and are furnished in 3 1/2″, 5 1/2″ and 7 1/2″ lengths with a 1″ overall width.
