V-LOC POST ANCHOR SYSTEMS

NCHRP 350 Crash-Tested &
Approved.

V-Loc’sflush-to-the-ground configuration allows sign posts to breakaway or release cleanly at ground level, with a 360° impact zone. Other mounting systems extend above ground level and can come in contact with a vehicle’s tires and/ or gas tank upon impact, potentially causing roll-overs and explosions. Save lives and reduce your liability by using V-Loc Sockets to safely anchor all of your posts, including those for signs, mailboxes and handrails. It’s the safe choice.

The Paramount in Post
Anchors

V-Loc is the state of the art, re-usable breakaway anchor, allowing you to replace posts literally in minutes. It anchors posts for signs, mailboxes and other applications. The V-Loc socket can be installed in concrete, asphalt or dirt, safely by one person in a matter of minutes either by hand or power driver. Once the V-Loc is installed, you simply insert your post and drive in the patented wedge, locking the post into the anchor without the need for any additional hardware. It’s simple, solid, safe and re-usable.

Never replace an anchor again!

After a knockdown the socket is re-usable, requiring only the replacement of the locking wedge and post. You save re-installation time and money on every knockdown.

Stability
The strong V-shaped steel fins hold the socket securely in the ground. V-Loc’s patented design resists movement, both from wind vibration and in the event of a knockdown.

MUTCD: All non-breakaway sign supports
shall be replaced by January 2013

The FHWA realizes that no agency can inventory, inspect, design and replace non-breakaway sign supports overnight. The easiest way to accomplish this is to begin using breakaway supports when installing new signs or replacing damaged supports. All non-breakaway sign supports within the clear zone of roads posted at 50 MPH or greater shall be replaced by January 2013. Thus you can save yourself time and money by using compliant supports NOW for the new installations, as well as when replacing existing, damaged sign post supports.

FHWA policy requires that all highway appurtenances, including sign supports, used on the National Highway System meet performance criteria contained in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350, Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features. ALL of TAPCO's V-Loc Sign Sockets for round, square and U-channel posts are NCHRP350-approved Breakaway Supports.
