16.0 Racking in Building Entrances and Vaults

16.01 Vertical Racking:

a. Determine height of splice.

b. Place a 1/2" (13 mm) bolt through racking that extends away from the wall.

c. The bottom of the 2178 is placed on the bolt so the groove on the base fits around the bolt.

d. Place a 1/2" (13 mm) bolt through the top groove to align with an opening.

e. Tighten bolts to prevent movement.

16.02 Horizontal Racking:

a. Determine height of splice.

b. Use RC-100 splice support clips.

Note:

Follow instructions provided with packaging of RC-100 clips.

c. Insert clips in racking or unistrut.

d. Insert a standard manhole rack through the brackets.

e. Use 2" (51 mm) bolts to secure 2178 to installed rack.

f. Tighten bolts to prevent movement.

16.03 Fire Retardant Backboard:

a. Determine height of splice.

b. Screw two 1/2" x 2" (13 mm x 51 mm) bolts in backboard to secure 2178.

c. Can be stored vertical or horizontal.
