X-Tension - Median Installation Instructions
Step 1 - Set Out
The Median X -Tension is essentially one Tangent X-Tension installed parallel to one side of the
median barrier (Figure 33), with a small number of additional components and rail attached
parallel with the other side of the barrier (Figure 34).
Determine which side of the barrier will have the Tangent X-Tension portion of the Median X-
Tension installed parallel to it. (Usually the heaviest traffic volume side)
Pull a string line out the length of the system, parallel with the median barrier posts.
The string line should be set to follow the side of the posts, on the side that it is desired to install
the tangent X-Tension.

median barrier.

Step 2 – Installing Tangent X-Tension Portion
Follow steps 2 – 13 in the Tangent installation instructions, with the following exceptions.
(1) DO NOT set post 3 back 30-50mm (1 -2 in) as per the instructions in Step
2 of the Tangent installation instructions. For the Median application, Post 3
remains parallel with the other line posts.
(2) As noted on page #7, Post 2 must be steel crimped and Post 3-6 are
always standard steel I-beam posts.
Now follow the remaining steps 3 to 8 to complete the backside of the median terminal.
