A.11 TOWER SET-UP
A.11.1 LEVELING AND TOWER SUPPORTS
REYMSA Cooling Towers should always be installed on a level surface and adequately supported. REYMSA
recommends supporting Cooling Towers on an isolation pad and a structural base; care must be taken to
ensure that the basin sump (the lowest portion of the Tower basin) is completely supported (see Figure
A-116). Always make sure the structural base will support the Tower’s operational weight. Also verify that
such support has the proper dimensions; always refer to factory certified drawings for construction purposes.
An example of a recommended base support is shown in “APPENDIX C: EXAMPLE OF STRUCTURAL BASE
FOR A REYMSA COOLING TOWER”; consult your REYMSA representative for more specifics.
A.11.2 PIPING CONNECTIONS
All connections to the Cooling Tower module must be field fitted after Tower installation to prevent stress on
the Tower. All piping should be self-supported and NEVER supported by the Cooling Tower.
Tower should be installed on a level surface and adequately supported.
Failure to do so could result in Cooling Tower and property damage.
CAUTION
Piping should not be supported by the Cooling Tower at any time. Failure to
do so could result in Tower and property damage.
CAUTION
