After securing the Wedge Insert to the form, rebar is inserted through the loop and secured as shown on the plans. Then the concrete is poured. As with any situation where pressure and/or temperature changes dramatically there will be movement, whether in the forms, the rebar, etc. For this reason it is imperative the Wedge Insert be tightly secured. This elimates the possibility the Wedge Insert will move, pull back away from the form or in some way make itself un-useable. It also removes the possibilty that liquid concrete will seep into the cavity inside the Wedge Insert.
