PFEIFER – Safely in the
right direction
“Made in Germany” for over 430 years.
PFEIFER Seil- und Hebetechnik GmbH in Memmingen is the
headquarters of the PFEIFER Group and can look back on
a family tradition of more than 430 in the manufacture of ropes

General installation instructions for the VS® Slim Box and VS® Plus Box systems
Use
The PFEIFER VS ® Slim/Plus Box
systems are provided for the connection of reinforced concrete precast wall elements (Figures 2 to 5)
made of concrete of grade C30/37

The VS® Slim/Plus Box joint functions as an overlapping joint. For that reason,
the loops must each lie above one another within certain vertical and horizontal tolerances.
Vertically, the loops are usually to be fitted without any offset, so that they
touch one another and lie directly on top of one another (Figure 12). This
happens when the boxes are arranged in the same way from the base of the
elements to be joined. A maximum vertical position error of 20 mm is permitted (Figure 11).

The wall elements are usually concreted on formwork tables. A trapezoidal strip is
fastened to the frontal vertical end of the wall elements, according to Figure 13. The
dimensions of the trapezoidal wood can be obtained from Figure 14. Care should be
taken to see that the position is central within the load-bearing concrete layer. When
inserting the VS® Slim/Plus Box into the formwork, it is necessary to ensure that
the wire rope end is threaded as straight as possible between the reinforcement.
The anchorages for the wire rope ends are to be arranged at 90° to the joint
(Figures 13/17). Fixing the loops to the reinforcing mat with wire prevents the
loops from slipping out of place. Starting from the lowest point of the element, the
boxes are then nailed into place, or attached with hot-melt adhesive in the case of
steel formwork. It is always important to see that the arrangement is the same on
both sides of the joint!
After demoulding
The flexible covering foil is simply pulled off after demoulding (Figure 15).
The inside of the VS® Slim/Plus Box is then exposed, and the wire rope loops
are visible. The wire rope loops can then easily be folded out, using a tool to
avoid injury (Figure 16).
The wire rope loop should protrude perpendicularly from the structural element
(Figure 17), and should spring back to this position again even after having
been pushed aside when assembling the elements. To do this, the loop is
hooked into the fastening that is integrated into the sheet metal box (Figure 18).
This is important in order to ensure that the loops will overlap properly later on.
The wall elements are now ready for final installation on site.
Caution: The most sensitive element of the connection of the joint
between wall elements is always the casting mortar. Only when the
joints have been properly and completely cast, and the joint concrete has
been suitably compacted, can the joints transmit the applied forces properly.
Notice: The illustrations show the VS® Plus Box. They are to be
used in much the same way for the VS® Slim Box.
05_032-23
Assembling the precast elements: The joints, the VS® Slim/Plus Boxes and the loops must be clean, free from dirt or from separative fluids. The
wall elements are either placed on a bed of mortar or on underlaid plates of different heights with the permitted connection method according to page 8 (Figure 2 to
Figure 5). The elements must be levelled so that their position and heights are in accordance. The width of the opening at the element joint is usually 20 mm, and
must not be outside the tolerance range of between 10 and 40 mm. Vertically, the loops should lie in contact one the other, or may have a distance of no more than
20 mm between them.

The wall elements are usually concreted on formwork tables. A trapezoidal

Figure 14. The dimensions of the trapezoidal wood can be obtained from
Figure 15. Care should be taken to see that the position is central within the

it is necessary to ensure that the wire rope end is threaded as straight as
possible between the reinforcement. The anchorages for the wire rope ends
are to be arranged at 90° to the joint (Figures 14/18). Fixing the loops to the
reinforcing mat with wire prevents the loops from slipping out of place.
Starting from the lowest point of the element, the boxes are then nailed into place,
or attached with hot-melt adhesive in the case of steel formwork. It is always

Installation and usage
Bending the anchoring loop
When the elements have small dimensions, the anchoring loop of the VS® ISI/BZ System3D can be bent. The crucial factor here are the bending dimensions
given, for example, in Figures 10 to 12. At a corner joint, a Ø 8 mm stirrup is recommended in the region of the bent loop.

The planning must not provide for any offsets between the loops over the
length of the joint. The loops must therefore be installed in such a way that
they are in contact and lie directly on top of one another (Figure 18). If the
joints extend over a number of floors, it may in some circumstances be
useful to set regular zero points for orientation of the rail sections.
Maximum vertical height tolerance from standard construction variations of
20 mm is admissible (Figure 17).

Manufacture of the steel reinforced concrete precast elements
When a precast element connection is established using the VS® ISI/BZ System3D, the casting channel is automatically formed by rail profiles. This means
that it is not necessary to provide any additional recessing blocks, depressions or the like. When inserting into the formwork, it is necessary to ensure that
the wire rope ends are threaded as straight as possible between the reinforcement. Starting from the lowest point of the element, the profiles are then simply
nailed into place with the loops at the same height for both elements (Figure 21), or attached with hot-melt adhesive in the case of steel formwork. Fixing the
loops to the reinforcing mat with wire prevents the rails and loops from slipping out of place. The anchorages for the wire rope ends are to be arranged at
90 ° to the joint. They are to be positioned in such a way that the heights of facing loops correspond precisely.
Caution: Install the rails in the two elements that are to be
joined with the loops at the same height. If the height of the loops
differs by more than 20 mm, the joint loses its load carrying capacity.
Caution: Because the loops are of different lengths, the BZ and ISI
VS® Systems are not compatible with one another. For that reason,
rails with blue and orange clips must NOT be combined.
Fig. 19: ISI identification with
blue clip
Fig. 20: BZ identification with

After demoulding
®
The flexible covering foil is simply pulled off after demoulding (Figure 22). The inside of the VS profiles is then exposed, and the wire rope loops are visible.
The wire rope loop can easily be folded out (Figure 23). The wire rope loop should protrude perpendicularly from the element, and should spring back to this
position again even after having been pushed aside when assembling the elements. This is important in order to ensure the correct overlap. The wall elements are now ready for final installation on site.
Notice: PFEIFER application consultation service
should be consulted if increased
formwork pressure is to be
expected as a result of vertical
formwork.

Assembling the precast elements
The joints, the rail profiles and the loops must be free from dirt or from separative fluids. With the permitted connection method, the wall elements are either
placed on a bed of mortar or on levelling plates. The elements must be levelled so that their position and heights are in accordance. Within the framework of
the approval, the spacing of the joint may be between 15 mm and 40 mm. Vertically, the loops should lie in contact one the other, or may have a distance of
no more than 20 mm between them (see page 23).

Caution: Install the rails in
the two elements that are
to be joined with the loops at the
same height. Observe the same
installation direction of the upper
and lower non-symmetrical rails
here. If the height of the loops differs by more than 20 mm, the joint
loses its load carrying capacity.
Ensure that the rails and long
boxes are properly aligned.
After demoulding
The flexible covering foil is simply pulled off after demoulding (Figure 19). The inside of the VS® profiles is then exposed, and the wire rope loops are visible.
The wire rope loop can easily be folded out (Figure 20). The wire rope loop should protrude perpendicularly from the element, and should spring back to this

The optimum joint material for every application
VS® Pagel® GROUT
Highly penetrating
Simple handling
High design resistance
No feed pump required
Even relatively few joints can
be filled economically
This high-strength, extremely
well-flowing casting mortar flows
perfectly into the recesses of the
PFEIFER VS® Box systems. As a
result there are no strength-limiting
faults. In combination with the
PFEIFER VS® FDS Joint Pressure
Formwork, this mortar makes it
possible to fabricate extremely
high-quality joint casting quickly
and securely.
VS® P Pagel® JOINT FILLING MORTAR
Plastic and stable in the joint
without formwork
Less preparatory work is required
Mixing and conveying can be
done in one step
Pump conveying to the joint
The PFEIFER VS® rail systems have
an optimised profile without awkward
depressions. It is therefore possible
to use a mortar that is plastic and
that stands in the joint independently.
The big advantage of this is that only
very little formwork is needed here.
This technology offers significant
savings, particularly on large building
sites with many metres of joint.

Joint filler VS® PAGEL® GROUT for VS® Slim Box/VS® Plus Box/VS® Box
Information and notes
The properties of the grout in the joint play an important role in a load-bearing connection of precast concrete elements with the PFEIFER VS® system
elements. The specially developed VS® PAGEL® GROUT has proven its suitability in combination with PFEIFER VS® systems in extensive tests.
Grout properties
Very free-flowing for at least 90 minutes
Shrinkage-compensated
 Resistant to frost and de-icing salt
Can be pumped with mixing and conveying
pumps
 Corrosion inhibiting
 Production certified according to DIN ISO 9001
 Delivered as bagged goods (25 kg bags)
Mixing VS® PAGEL® GROUT
The VS® PAGEL® GROUT is delivered ready-to-pour, and only requires the addition of water according to the PAGEL® mixing instructions printed on the bag.
The material is then immediately ready to use.
Joint filling
The grout is added continuously until the planned height (max. 3.54 m) is reached. The formwork must be able to withstand the pressure created in this way.
Compaction is not necessary. Nevertheless, air removal by poking with the reinforcing steel bar or the application of an internal vibrator is recommended. The
grout sets very quickly, and allows work to continue promptly. The joint can be subjected to the approved load after the appropriate setting time.
Joint formwork variants
1. Board formwork
®
®
In order to completely fill joints between precast elements with VS PAGEL
GROUT, a shuttering board (Figure 1) is attached on both sides. It is recommended that foam rubber is applied to the shuttering boards in order to compensate for unevenness. When the shuttering boards are properly fastened
and it has been ensured that casting mortar cannot escape anywhere, the joint
can be filled as described in the "Joint filling" section. The formwork can be
removed, cleaned and reused after the material has hardened.
2. Mortar seal
Another variant makes it possible to close the joint flanks with the plastic VS® P
PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR (Figure 2). After this mortar has hardened, the
core of the joint can be filled with VS® PAGEL® GROUT, and the higher performance of the systems can be achieved.
Caution: The VS® PAGEL® GROUT is manufactured and marketed
by PAGEL Spezialbeton GmbH & Co. KG in Essen, Germany. The
casting mortar must therefore always be handled properly in accordance
with the manufacturer's data.
Caution: If joint pressure formwork or pre-compressed strips are to
be pressed into the side joints without affecting the casting space,
the effective lateral concrete coverage of the rail and the wire rope loop is
reduced. The remaining cross-section must satisfy the applicable minimum
requirements.

3. VS® FDS Joint Pressure FormworkS
The joint pressure formwork consists of two hoses, 4 m long. These are very
slightly inflated, and pressed into the slot of the joint, so that the casting
space of the loops is not impaired. After the hose has been inserted over the
full height of the joint, the hoses are brought up to the rated pressure, and the
joint is sealed (Figure 3). The casting mortar can now be introduced from
above, over the full height of at most 3.54 m. After the casting mortar has
hardened, the air pressure can be released and the hose removed. It can be
reused after cleaning. Please follow the detailed installation instructions.

Another way to cast the joints with the VS PAGEL GROUT is the variant
sketched in Figure 4. In this case, prior to casting, a foam cord/compriband is
inserted into the joint in a defined manner, after which a permanently elastic
jointing is applied.

When this jointing has completely hardened, the grouting can be carried out without any additional formwork measures. The pressure that arises during casting
must, however, be considered. This should be determined by the processing
company, allowing suitable casting sections to be chosen to avoid the jointing
from being pushed out.

VS® PAGEL® GROUT joint filler for the VS® rail systems
Information and notes
The properties of the grout in the joint play an important role in a load-bearing connection of precast concrete elements with the PFEIFER VS® system
elements. The specially developed VS® PAGEL® GROUT has proven its suitability in combination with PFEIFER VS® systems in extensive tests.
Grout properties
 Very free-flowing for at least 90 minutes
Shrinkage-compensated
 Resistant to frost and de-icing salt
Can be pumped with mixing and conveying
pumps
 Corrosion inhibiting
 Production certified according to DIN ISO 9001
 Delivered as bagged goods (25 kg bags)
Mixing VS® PAGEL® GROUT
The VS® PAGEL® GROUT is delivered ready-to-pour, and only requires the addition of water according to the PAGEL® mixing instructions printed on the bag.
The material is then immediately ready to use.
Joint formwork variants
The grout is added continuously until the planned height (max. 3.54 m) is reached. The formwork must be able to withstand the pressure created in this way.
Compaction is not necessary. Nevertheless, air removal by poking with the reinforcing steel bar or the application of an internal vibrator is recommended. The
grout sets very quickly, and allows work to continue promptly. The joint can be subjected to the approved load after the appropriate setting time.
Joint formwork variants
1. Board formwork
®
®
In order to completely fill joints between precast elements with VS PAGEL
GROUT, a shuttering board (Figure 5) is attached on both sides. It is recommended that foam rubber is applied to the shuttering boards in order to compensate for unevenness.
When the shuttering boards are properly fastened and it has been ensured that
casting mortar cannot escape anywhere, the joint can be filled as described in
the "Joint filling" section. The formwork can be removed, cleaned and reused
after the material has hardened.
2. Mortar seal
Another variant makes it possible to close the joint flanks with the plastic
VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR (Figure 6). After this mortar has
hardened, the core of the joint can be filled with VS® PAGEL® GROUT, and the
higher performance of the systems can be achieved.
®
®
Caution: The VS PAGEL GROUT is manufactured and marketed
by PAGEL Spezialbeton GmbH & Co. KG in Essen, Germany. The
casting mortar must therefore always be handled properly in accordance
with the manufacturer's data.
Caution: The remaining cross section must be at least 14 cm.
If joint pressure formwork or pre-compressed strips are to be
pressed into the side joints without affecting the casting space, the effective
lateral concrete coverage of the rail and the wire rope loop is reduced.

VS® PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR for the VS® rail systems
Information and notes
The advantage of the VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR lies in the filling of precast element joints, where it is possible to omit the use of formwork to a large
extent. The optimised, plastic properties of this mortar means that it is stable after being poured in the joint, without the need for further measures.
Mortar properties
 Non-shrinking, with an elastic consistency
 Easy preparation
 Can be pumped with conventional screw pumps
 High early and final strengths
 Resistant to frost and de-icing agents
 Impermeable to water
 Low water/cement ratio
 Production certified according to DIN ISO 9001
 Monitored externally and in-house
 Delivered as bagged goods (25 kg bags)
Mixing VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR
The mortar is supplied ready to use, and only has to be mixed with water
before use. It is essential that the mixing instructions on the bags are
observed.
Joint filling
First completely close off one joint flank using foam cord, profiled rubber (Figure 9), or alternatively using VS® P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR (Figure
10). After closing with VS®-P PAGEL® JOINT FILLING MORTAR, wait for the mortar to become stiff. After this, working from the other side, the remaining
joint, which is now closed on one side, should be filled from the bottom to the top evenly and continuously. Gently poking the joint with the filling nozzle or
the filling pipe ensures a proper result. The joint can easily be drawn flat after having been filled.

Nozzle making
The user can make the filling nozzle from commercially available 22 mm
(3/4") copper heating pipe. It can be attached to the pump hose with the aid of
a solder fitting (Figures 11 and 12).
Notice: This information only concerns the introduction of the
material into the joint!
5-10 mm
Caution: Do not constrict the filling space. If pre-compressed
strips are to be pressed into the side joints without affecting the
casting space, the effective lateral concrete coverage of the rail and the
wire rope loop is reduced. This must also be taken into account by the
planners in the dimensioning.

The PFEIFER VS® FDS Joint Pressure
Formwork makes it possible to apply form®
work to filling joints in the VS FS system
as quick as a flash for a perfect seal.
Simple to fit and completely waste-free
because joint pressure formwork can be
reused.
The joint pressure formwork guarantees a
tight join when casting up to 3.50 m in
height. After the joint filling has hardened
the air is released from the pressure formwork and it is removed, leaving a clean,
recessed, slightly rounded smooth join.
This is especially useful for the permanently elastic exterior seal of a building.
