Preparing the poured-in-place cabinet mounting pad
Action
Step Action
1 Assemble the form as per the pad arrangement to be installed. Refer to
Figure 1-2 on page 1-10 through Figure 1-9 on page 1-17 for pad layouts.
Note:
Make sure that all wood is cut to the exact dimensions. It is especially
critical that the 2x6s are ripped to the exact four-inch height so that the raised
portion of the anchor plate fits properly.
2 Place and level the form as required by the site plans.
3 Erect the anchor assembly as per the anchor kit to be installed.
Use Figure 1-10 on page 1-18 through Figure 1-13 on page 1-21 as you
assemble the anchor plate kit.
The assembly consists of:
• galvanized steel plate, 11-gauge
• anchoring bolts, 5/8-inch diameter (16 mm)
• temporary angle supports
• plastic caps to protect the bolt threads
4 Place the reinforcing welded wire mesh inside the form (see Figure 1-14 on
page 1-22).
5 Level the top of the form.
6 Place the anchor plate assembly on top of the form and secure it in place by
nailing the angles to the form.
Note:
Use the plastic caps provided to protect the anchor bolt threads.
7 Position the cable ducts through the conduit template openings (see
Figure 1-1).
Note:
Conduits should extend at least two inches (51 mm) above the anchor
assembly when possible, and should be plugged to prevent concrete from
entering the conduit.
8 Add bracing supports along the length of the form to keep it square against
the anchor plate and prevent bowing when the concrete is poured (see
Figure 1-14).
Note:
Keep the conduit vertical while the concrete is poured.
9 Continue the pad installation by performing Procedure 1-2.
