SUPPORT STRUCTURE
Units need to be structurally supported with two parallel
I-beams traversing the entire length of the unit. See
Figure
11.

NOTICE
Refer to the submittal package for specific unit infor -
mation.
Use Neoprene gasketing between the I-beams and the
base of the unit.
NOTICE
If Neoprene gasketing is not used, corrosion may oc-
cur between the dissimilar materials.
I-beams must be level, with no deviance greater than 1/8
in. over a 6 ft span. Shims cannot be used to level the unit
as this compromises the load bearing surface.
Mounting holes of 13/16 in. diameter are provided at the
base of the basin section, in the side panel flanges, for
securing each unit to the support structure using 3/4 in.
diameter bolts. Refer to the FRICK unit certified drawing
for the bolt hole locations.
All support beams and anchoring bolts are provided by
others and must be selected in accordance with sound
structural engineering standards. When selecting the sup
-
port beams, calculate deflection by using 55% of the unit’s
operating weight as a uniform load on each beam.
NOTICE
The support beams must be level at the top and meet
industry acceptable tolerance related to the overall
length of the unit installed. Do not level any unit with
shims.
