Procedure 1-2 (continued)
Pouring the concrete
Action
Step Action
1 Pour the pad concrete through the large openings at each end of the anchor
assembly.
Note:
When two inches of concrete cover the bottom of the form, pull up the
welded wire mesh up through the concrete so that it sits on top of the
concrete.
2 Distribute the concrete evenly throughout the template, especially around the
cable conduits (see Figure 1-15 on page 1-26).
Note:
Use a rod or pole to work the concrete up into the corners of the form.
3 Level off the concrete with a trowel so that the surface is flush with the top of
the anchor plate.
Note 1:
Make sure there is no downward slope toward the cabinet that could
allow water to pool around the cabinet base.
Note 2:
Before the concrete sets, check the leveling of the anchor plate with
a spirit level.
4 Wash the residue from the top of the anchor plate
(see Figure 1-16 on page 1-27).
5 Edge all corners for a smooth finish when the concrete begins to set.
6 Allow the concrete to dry and cure.
7 Remove the form and the cross angles.
8 Edge and patch the concrete as needed.
Note:
Make sure that all conduit extending above the concrete is free of
sharp edges or burrs.
9 Reinstall the washers, nuts, and plastic caps on the anchor bolts after the
cross angles are removed (see Figure 1-17 on page 1-28).
Note:
Make sure the surface is sound and free of honeycomb. Only a
minimum of patching and finishing should be required to fill the holes left by
the form ties, if used, and to remove minor irregularities. Any chips or voids
1/4-inch deep or greater (1/2-inch at the edges) should be patched. There
should be no cracks through the surface.
