Because EZ-TUBE footings are lightweight, they can be installed without the use of heavy machinery. And because EZ-TUBE footings are precast, they eliminate the need to mix and cure concrete, which also allows you to install them in inclement weather.
This means that you can use EZ-TUBE for a variety of applications, like decks, solar arrays, and commercial platforms, and in a variety of locations, like areas that are inaccessible for heavy equipment — all while cutting project costs and time.
EZ-TUBE Components
The EZ-TUBE footing consists of a precast concrete base, an anchor rod, and lightweight precast concrete sections. The 100-pound (lb) base is attached to the anchor and designed to be easily rolled and dropped into your footing holes. The 70-lb stackable sections slide onto the anchor rod to your required height.
Strength and Durability
The EZ-TUBE design allows for light, portable sections without compromising strength. While EZ-TUBE’s upper sections are 30% lighter than most top-selling bags of concrete, the fully assembled footing has an average load strength of 135,000 lbs. And because EZ-CRETE manufactures its precast products in a climate-controlled facility with our proprietary concrete blend, the EZ-TUBE can withstand and endure harsh climate conditions. This means that your footings are built to last with little to no maintenance.
Easy Install
Because EZ-TUBE is comprised of precast concrete, you can skip the tedious and messy mixing, molding, and curing process that traditional poured concrete structures require. To install EZ-TUBE, simply:
- 1. Dig and prep a hole to your required depth below the frost line.
- 2. Thread the anchor rod through the base section, then roll and drop the base into position.
- 3. Thread the upper sections onto the anchor rod, spreading mortar (3,000 psi minimum) between each section.
- 4. Level, plumb, and align.
- 5. Backfill.
That’s it, you’re done and ready to build on your new footings.
EZ-TUBE precast concrete footings allow you to save time and cut costs without sacrificing strength or quality. EZ-CRETE is the proud patent holder of the EZ-TUBE Precast Concrete Tube Footing. Find an EZ-CRETE retailer near you and easily create a strong, stable foundation for your next project.
