Chapter 3: Preparing the Installation Site

This chapter describes how to prepare the installation site for cabinet placement, including establishing the cabinet

mounting structure. You can install the cabinet onto a concrete foundation pad, a pole, or a foundation vault.

For pad-mount applications, you can construct a concrete pad using the Clearfield cast-in-place template or use a

pre-cast concrete pad. A composite foundation vault, available from a third-party supplier, can provide easy under-cabinet

access or serve

as a riser.

For all mounting configurations, Clearfield requires installation of an earth ground circuit at the installation site to provide

lightning protection.

•

Installing a ground circuit at the installation site

• Constructing a concrete pad

•
