VB230
Second Story Volleyball Socket Form
Date: 5/21/18 Rev: I.R. B.A. N.J.C. File: \pub\inst\vb230 Ref#: 960965
Notice:
While more difficult to install, it is possible to use floor sockets on upper level gym floors. Unless you
are experienced in this technique it is wise to consult a professional installer. There are many variables
that need to be considered so the instructions below should only be used as a general guideline.

1.
Once desired location of sockets in the gym is determined you will need to determine the type of
subfloor, the location and orientation of all support structure, whether flooring supports are steel, wood
or pre-stressed concrete and whether it is possible to feasibly access the area directly below the desired
socket locations. Sometimes it is necessary to drill a small hole on the desired centerline of the socket
through the wood floor, concrete and support structure to determine location below. If this location is
not used the hole in the floor needs to be filled.
2.
If it is determined that the locations of the
Floor Sockets
(C) selected will allow for installation of a
VB230 Concrete Form
(A) below the floor, use the
Floor Plate
(B) and pencil to draw a circle on the
finished floor at each
Floor Socket
(C) location.
3.
Measure the distance from the top of the floor to the subfloor surface below. If the distance is greater
than 3" you will not be able to use
VB230 Concrete Form
(A) without field modifications.
4.
Cut a hole through the wood floor that is 2"
SMALLER
in diameter than the circle drawn from
instruction #2. This should be approximately 6" in diameter.
CAUTION:
If you cut the hole on the
larger pencil circle it will not be possible to install the
Floor Plate
(B) properly. You may need to rout
relief in the wood to accommodate
Floor Socket
(C) installation. See Figure 1.
Application:
Floating floor socket installation on floating floor with lower levels or crawl space below concrete or
wooden subfloors.
Caution:
Proper net tensioning transfers up to 10,000 pounds of force to the socket and its housing so it is
imperative to use anchors that will withstand this load. If your gym floor, subfloor or other variables
differ from those described, installer will need to adjust the installation procedure to suit the actual
conditions. Installer and owner bear full responsibility for proper installation.
