Anchor bolts
• Foundation bolts or anchors of the proper size and type must be used. Foundation bolts
that are cast in place can be of either type shown in pump detail figure. Concrete anchors
can also be used. The type selected must be consistent with local codes.
• The size of the foundation bolts or anchor should be 1/8” (3 mm) smaller diameter than
the holes provided in the base plate. Refer to the pump submittal for the quantity and
size.

diameter of the anchor bolt.
4.5 Requirements for setting the baseplate
CAUTION:
Use an anchor bolt and a plain, flat, type-W washer at each anchor bolt hole. Otherwise, the
pump unit can shift. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious property damage
and/or moderate personal injury.
It is very important that the pump base is set level in order to avoid any mechanical
difficulties with the motor or pump.
Base Plate Setting
• Place the pump unit on its concrete foundation, supporting it with steel wedges or shims.
– The wedges or shims should be machined and be put on both sides of each anchor
bolt to provide a means for leveling the base.
– The wedge or shim length should be equal to or greater than the base rail width.
– The width of the wedge or shim should be at least four times the diameter of the
anchor bolt.
– It is acceptable to place additional shims between the existing anchor bolts.
– Use an anchor bolt for each anchor bolt hole provided.
