Installation Guidelines for TAPCO's V-Loc® Anchoring Systems
V-Loc® Breakaway Post Anchors
The industry's only true reuseable sign post anchor. Our unique system allows posts to release or break away at ground level minimizing the potential for punctured tires and vehicle roll-overs.
Breakaway Pole Packages
Our pole packages include everything you need to get the kind of pole you need up. Pole, brackets, hardware, anchor, etc. The only thing left would be to pick the sign you want to put on it.
Breakaway Anchor Installation Equipment
Save time and effort using gas-powered or manual V-Loc® installation drivers. Get the tools you need such as clean-out trowel, heavy-duty wedge puller, tip and nut, power-drive head or driver shanks.
Surface Mount Breakaway Anchors
No need to bore out concrete for new sign post installations or when repairing damaged sign posts. Snap'N Safe Surface Mount Breakaway Anchors can withstand 120 MPH winds.
Flexible Spring Post Base Systems
Ideal for busy parking areas. Spring-loaded bases flex upon impact and return post to vertical helping to prevent damage to pavement and vehicles.
V-Loc Division
V-Loc® is the state of the art, reusable breakaway anchor, allowing you to replace posts literally in minutes. It anchors posts for signs, mailboxes and other applications. The V-Loc® anchor 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® anchor 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. V-Loc® fins require no concrete in soil. It's simple, solid and safe. The only reusable, flush-to-the-ground breakaway anchor!

Never Replace an Anchor Again!
V-Loc®'s unique, patented, yield and release system allows posts to release or break away at ground level, so errant vehicles pass over the anchor, minimizing the potential for punctured tires and vehicle roll-overs. After a knockdown the socket is re-usable, requiring only the replacement of the locking wedge and post. You save re-installation and money on every knockdown.
Stability For All Situations
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.
Crash Tested & Approved!
V-Loc® is NCHRP 350 approved, AASHTO recommended & Federal Highway Administration - Clear Zone Compliant. V-Loc®'s flush-to-the-ground anchor allows sign posts to breakaway or release cleanly at ground-level, with a 360 degree impact zone.
