Casting into New Concrete
Before casting into new concrete, ensure the site is suitable for installation of a CPF25. The CPF25’s Clean Cord
Technology requires space behind the power stub-up for the Cord Management Kit (CMK). To ensure adequate
space, refer to the CPF25 Installation Template (75-001163-01) stapled into the center of this installation guide.
IMPORTANT:
•
Always check local codes to ensure compliance. You may need to adjust these instructions to comply with
codes that apply at your installation location.
•
The concrete block must measure at least 20” on all sides.
•
The bolt threads must extend 2.5” above the concrete.
•
The conduit must be 3/4” to 1 1/4” (maximum) in diameter and extend 12” above the concrete.
•
The service wiring must extend 6’ above surface.
•
Refer to Section 2 of this installation guide for detailed instructions on how to install the pedestal mount.
Preparation
Before pouring the concrete pad, check to make sure that all pedestal mounting components are readily available
at the installation site and that the conduit and service wiring is positioned as described on the installation
template. It is recommended that a jig be created to position the conduit before pouring the concrete.
Follow These Steps
1.
Install two nuts, with two washers captured between them, onto each of the four bolts, as illustrated. Lock
them together so the lower end of the upper nut is located 6 - 6
1/2
” from the bottom of the bolt. This sets
the length of the exposed threads.
2.
Insert the four bolts through the Plastic Bolt Installation Template. This ensures the relative position of the
bolts and that the flange of the pole fits over the bolts.
3.
On the bottom of each bolt, install a nut, a washer, and a nut. Lock the two nuts together so that the lower nut
aligns to the bottom of the bolt.
4.
Immediately after pouring the concrete, push the bolts into the concrete 6.5” deep, as illustrated. Ensure
correct alignment and that the top 2.5” of the bolts remain exposed. Rotate the bolts as you insert them to
draw concrete into the threads.
5.
When the concrete is fully set, remove the upper nuts and one washer to install the pedestal’s mounting post.
You are now ready to install the CPF25’s pedestal mount as described in Section 2 of this installation guide.
