The Dominator 75/10 plate dowel is the most advanced in plate dowel design, and has the following features:
● A constant width steel plate, and a tapered sleeve.
● The width and thickness of the Dominator plate dowel have been selected for:
● High bearing capacity (but not excessive bearing capacity) in narrow joint widths,
● High bending capacity for a range of joint widths, and
● Tapered dowel sleeve to allow increasing lateral movement as the joint width increases.
A tapered dowel plate is not used since a tapered plate would rapidly reduce the dowel capacity as the joint width increases.
