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.
