Code: VLOCKW

V Lock & Wedges are designed for installing our 60mm outside diameter sign posts into fresh concrete.

They are used in areas where a sign and post are more likely to be hit and damaged. This includes median strips and traffic islands. If an impact occurs and the post is damaged, the quick-release wedge is easily removed. A new replacement post can quickly be replaced, saving time and money.

Sign Posts are sold separately. You may also need TD1 Brackets for your sign installation.
