Preparing a concrete mounting pad for the cabinet
Step Action
7
Lay the AN2016 template on the ground, placing it over the conduits. Slip the
conduits into the template holes to position them. Back fill and tamp the
trench to hold the conduit firmly in place
(see Figure 3-4).
Note 1:
Be sure the conduit ends extending through the template are aligned
vertically (perpendicular to the template surface).
Note 2:
The mounting pad top surface should be approximately six inches
(152 mm) above the gravel base, and two inches (51 mm) above the final
grade.
8
If a power transfer template will be mounted to the mounting pad, place the
power transfer template in one corner of the pad. Route the 1.75 in. conduit
from the AC compartment end side of the cabinet template to the power
transfer pedestal template. Remove the template. Backfill and tamp the
trench to hold the conduits in position.
9
Remove the template(s). Add the wooden stakes (see Figure 3-2 and
Figure 3-3). Level them.
10
Place the wire mesh (6 x 6, 4 gauge) in the form as shown in Figure 3-3. Be
sure the wire mesh is centered vertically.
Note:
No. 3 (3/8-inch) or larger reinforcing rod, placed on 15-inch centers,
may be used in place of wire mesh.
11
Place the AN2016 template in the form and over the conduits. If used, place
the template into the form and over the 1.75 in. conduit.
12
Fasten the template(s) to wooden stakes.
13
Square and level the template(s) on the stakes so the tops of the mounting
plates are flush with, or no more than 1/4-in. above, the top of the pad (see
Figure 3-4). Square the template(s) so the diagonal measurement between
the anchor bolts is equal.
Note:
The cabinet must clear the finished concrete surface so that you can
remove the base panel below the cabinet end chamber.
14
The conduit must extend approximately two in. (51 mm) above the template
(see Figure 3-4). Cover the conduits at the top to keep concrete from entering
them during the pour.
Note:
Make sure the conduit ends extend vertically through the template
(perpendicular to the template surface).
15
Before you pour the concrete, be sure that all four 1/2 in. x 13 anchor bolts in
the AN2016 template are threaded all the way down in the anchor nuts.
