Limitations and Warnings
Valtir, in compliance with NCHRP Report 350, contracts with FHWA approved testing facilities to
perform crash tests, evaluation of tests, and submit results to the FHWA for review.
The QuadGuard®HS system has been deemed eligible for reimbursement by FHWA as meeting
the requirements and guidelines of NCHRP Report 350 TL-3 Plus with an increase speed from
62 mph [100 km/h] to 70 mph [113 km/h]. These tests typically evaluate product performance by
conducting testing pursuant to parameters set forth in NCHRP Report 350 and accepted by
FHWA which include a range of vehicles from lightweight cars (approx. 1800 lb. [820kg]) to full
size pickup trucks (approx. 4400 lb. [2000 kg]) as specified by the FHWA. A product can be
certified for multiple Test Levels. The QuadGuard®HS is certified to the Test Level(s) as shown
below:
Test Level 3 Plus:70 mph [113 km/h]
These FHWA directed tests are not intended to represent the performance of systems
when impacted by every vehicle type or every impact condition existing on the roadway.
This system is tested only to the test matrix criteria of NCHRP Report 350 as approved by
FHWA.
Valtir expressly disclaims any warranty or liability for injury or damage to persons or property
resulting from any impact, collision or harmful contact with products, other vehicles, or nearby
hazards or objects by any vehicle, object or person, whether or not the products were assembled
in consultation with Valtir or by third parties.
The QuadGuard®HS is intended to be assembled, delineated, and maintained within specific
state and federal guidelines. It is important for the highway authority specifying the use of a
highway product to select the most appropriate product configuration for its site specifications.
The customer should be careful to properly select, assemble, and maintain the product. Careful
evaluation of the site lay out, vehicle population type; speed, traffic direction, and visibility are
some of the elements that require evaluation in the selection of a highway product. For example,
curbs could cause an untested effect on an impacting vehicle.
After an impact occurs, the debris from the impact should be removed from the area immediately

Valtir.com 6 Revision D November 2022
System Overview
The QuadGuard®HS, through crash testing, has been shown to be a potentially reusable, re-
directive, non-gating crash cushion, within NCHRP Report 350 criteria, for hazards ranging in
width from 24” to 90” [610 mm to 2285 mm]. It consists of energy-absorbing cartridges surrounded
by a framework of Quad-BeamTM Panels.
Important: Valtir makes no recommendation whether use or reuse of any
part of the system is appropriate or acceptable following an impact. It is the
sole responsibility of the project engineer and/or the local highway authority
and its engineers to make that determination. It is critical that you inspect
this product after assembly is complete to make certain that the instructions
provided in this manual have been strictly followed.
The QuadGuard®HS system utilizes two types of cartridges in a “staged” configuration and empty
Bays to address both lighter cars and heavier, high center-of-gravity vehicles.
Impact Performance
The 9 Bay QuadGuard®HS systems have successfully passed the requirements stipulated in
NCHRP Report 350, Test Level 3 tests with both the light car and pickup at speeds of 70 mph
[113 km/h] at angles up to 20 degrees.
During head-on impacts, within NCHRP Report 350 criteria, the QuadGuard®HS has been shown
that it compresses rearward and crushes to absorb the energy of impact. When impacted from
the side, it safely redirects the vehicle back toward its original travel path and away from the
hazard.
Inspect Shipping
Before deploying the QuadGuard®HS, check the received parts against the shipping list supplied
with the system to ensure all parts are included.
Important:The Manufacturer’s Drawing Package supplied with the QuadGuard®
HS must be used with these instructions for proper assembly and should take
precedence over these general instructions.
Warning: Do NOT modify the QuadGuard®HS in any way.

Valtir Approved Adhesive Anchoring System
A Valtir approved adhesive anchoring system is required to securely anchor crash cushions. Each
approved adhesive kit contains adhesive, studs, nuts, washers and instructions. Both vertical and
horizontal assemblies are possible using an approved adhesive anchoring system.
Vertical Assemblies
Note: Read all Valtir approved adhesive instructions before starting.
1) Prepare the Concrete Foundation
Warning: Do not allow anchoring adhesive to contact skin or eyes. See material
safety data sheet supplied with adhesive kit for first-aid procedures. Use only in
well-ventilated area. Do not use near open flame.
Warning: Wear gloves and protective eyewear during application.
The studs that anchor the QuadGuard®HS system Backup and/or Monorail sections to the
concrete foundation must be those shipped in the kit or of high strength steel (Grade B7 or
SAE-J429 Grade 5). These studs must be set in minimum 4000 psi [28 MPa] concrete. Allow
the concrete to cure a minimum of seven days before drilling and anchoring studs.
2) Drill Boreholes
Caution:It is the responsibility of the installer to consult OSHA silica
respiratory standard 29 CFR 1910.134 for debris removal from borehole(s)
and use Valtir approved adhesive to achieve optimum tensile strength. Do
not use diamond drill bits for drilling boreholes.
Use the Monorail(s) and Tension Strut Backup as drilling templates. Use a rotary hammer drill
to drill the boreholes 7/8” [22 mm] diameter to the recommended depth. See the approved
adhesive instructions provided with your kit. Check to ensure each borehole is drilled to the
proper depth and aligned with the part to be anchored per chart below.

Important: When mounting on asphalt, initial torque shall be as shown
above. Due to the properties of asphalt, anchors may loosen over time. For
this reason Valtir recommends anchoring to asphalt only at temporary
locations. It is recommended to re-torque anchors in asphalt every six (6)
months to the proper initial torque specified.

Valtir.com 15 Revision D November 2022
3) Clean the Boreholes
Blow the concrete dust from the borehole using oil-free compressed air. Thoroughly brush it
with a 7/8” diameter steel bristle tube brush and then blow it out again. If the borehole is wet,
completely flush it with water while brushing and then blow it clean to remove all water using
oil-free compressed air.
4) Apply Approved Adhesive
Fill the borehole 100% full with adhesive material.
Caution: Fill borehole 100% full so it is even with the pavement surface per
manufacturer’s instructions.
5) Add the Washers and Nuts
Place a flat washer onto the stud then thread a nut on until the end of
the stud is flush with the NUT (Figure 1).
6) Insert Studs in Boreholes and Wait for Adhesive to Cure
Push the stud down through the part to be anchored and into the
borehole. Give the stud several twists in the approved adhesive to wet
the threads.
Caution: Do not disturb or load the stud until the approved
adhesive material has hardened (refer to instructions
supplied with the approved adhesive kit).
7) Torque the Nuts
Once the adhesive has fully cured, torque the nut to the
manufacturer’s recommended values.
Assembly Cautions
1) Steel rebar
If steel rebar is encountered while drilling an anchor bolt borehole, apply one of the following
solutions:
A) Use a rebar drill bit for the rebar only and then switch back to the concrete bit to finish
drilling into the underlying concrete until the proper borehole depth is reached.
Caution: Do not drill through rebar without first obtaining permission to do so
from the project engineer.
B) Drill a new borehole down at an angle past the rebar to the proper depth. Anchor the stud
by completely filling both boreholes with an approved adhesive.
Figure 1
Vertical Application
(Before Applied Torque)

Valtir.com 16 Revision D November 2022
Horizontal Assemblies
The horizontal approved adhesive kit is the same as the vertical kit.
Caution: Fill borehole 100% full so it is even with the concrete surface per
manufacturer’s instructions.
1) Follow the instructions supplied with your approved adhesive kit
Apply approved adhesive to each anchor per instructions.
2) Add the Washers and Nuts
Put washer and nut on stud so the nut is flush with end of stud (Figure 1 & 2).
3) Insert each Stud with Washer and Nut into Borehole
Push stud through part to be anchored and into borehole. Twist the stud in the approved
adhesive to wet the threads.
Important: The stud should be flush with the top of the nut in both vertical and
horizontal applications prior to tightening (Figure 2).
Caution: Do not disturb or load the stud until the approved adhesive material has
hardened (refer to approved adhesive kit instructions for hardening times).
4) Torque the nuts
Once the adhesive has fully cured, torque nut(s) to the approved adhesive manufacturing
specification.
