2.7 Foundation Requirements
IMPORTANT: Due to varying geographical soil conditions, contact a local civil engineer for footer,
concrete, and foundation requirements that will adequately support the weight of the milk cooler
when filled to maximum capacity.
The following information is required to determine the foundation requirements:
1. A drawing showing the layout location of the milk cooler’s legs. See Section 8.
2. A drawing describing the proposed installation layout.
3. Gross weight of the milk cooler when filled to maximum capacity.
Formula 1 - Gross Weight of Milk Cooler
Net Weight (lb)* + (Capacity in US Gallons x 8.6) = Gross Weight (lb)
Net Weight (kg)* + (Capacity in Liters x 1.0305) = Gross Weight (kg)
*Section 8 provides approximate net weights of Mueller milk coolers.
Example: 2,000 gallon Mueller milk cooler filled to maximum capacity.
2,356 lbs. + (2,000 x 8.6) = 19,556 lbs.
1,069 kg. + (7,570 x 1.0305) = 8,870 kg.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Mueller warrants to the original purchaser/user that the Mueller factory calibration
of a Mueller milk cooler will not be affected (i.e. exceed the tolerances prescribed by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology) by distortion or structural change for a period of five (5) years
from the date of installation or sixty-six (66) months from the date of shipment from the Company
factory, whichever occurs first. The Company’s obligation shall be limited to the correction of the
calibration only, and does not cover reimbursement of product loss. This warranty will not apply if
distortion is caused by changes in the floor or foundation on which the milk cooler is installed. Refer
to the Mueller Milk Cooler Warranty Card for complete warranty information.
