R-4985-18 Detectable Warning Plates

USD $152.00

Compliant to both CSA B651-12 and ASTM 1028 tactile paving standards, Reliance Foundry’s R-4985-18 detectable warning plates facilitate inclusive public spaces by making high-traffic areas safer and more navigable to those living with visual impairments. Made with ASTM A48 Class 35B cast-iron, these plates effectively signal changes in level or a transition from sidewalk to street while preventing slipping with use of grid textures and truncated domes.

The R-4985-18 measures 24″ deep by 18″ wide and is engineered to withstand being run over by heavy vehicles. Additionally, the plates are fully recyclable at the end of their life cycle. This item comes uncoated by default and will develop a visual contrast from its environment over time due to a natural patina forming from oxidation and moisture.
