APPENDIX I: MOUNTING UNIT WITH BAND-IT
BAND-IT
®
’s banding technique described herein will be utilized to mount collector units, Solar Enclosures, Solar collectors and
UPS enclosures. The collector mounting procedure is described here in detail because it is probably the most difficult as it
involves two pole mounting brackets versus one for the other cases. This method of pole mounting collector is suitable for metal
mast & streetlight mounting. Mounting to wooden utility poles should continue to use stainless steel screws or McMaster-Carr
Mounting kits.
Mueller Systems has no formal affiliation with IDEX Corporation or BAND-IT. The information is being included here to assist in
the installation of Mueller hardware, in the event that the installer chooses to utilize the IDEX BAND-IT system.
When mounting equipment to a pole with stainless steel banding, BAND-IT
®
always recommends double wrapping for safety and
support. The weight of the mounted object must always be taken into
consideration. For an average mounting box weight of 25 lbs. and
under (which the amplifier falls into), 1/2" wide band is recommended
(double wrapped). For the collector (40 lbs – 65 lbs), 3/4" wide band
is recommended (double wrapped).
