ChargePoint® Charging Stations

Follow These Steps
1.
Install two nuts with two washers captured between them. Lock them together so the lower end of the nut is located
6” from the bottom of the bolt. This sets the length of the exposed threads.
2.
Use the Installation Template to mark the hole locations.
3.
Remove the template and drill four
3/4
” diameter holes 6” deep into the concrete. When locating the template,
consider the station’s total footprint. For reference, a template is included in this kit
NOTE:
•
Bolts must be parallel after installation. Therefore, ensure drill holes are plumb by using a bubble level to check
the angle of the drill after drilling 1 to 1
1/2
”.
•
If installing over existing buried conduit, position the center of the template around the conduit stub-up.
•
You may need two drill bits - one for the concrete (with the pilot) and another for the rebar (without the pilot).
Always start the hole using the standard drill bit, then switch to the rebar drill bit only if drilling through rebar.
4.
Remove all dust from inside the drilled holes using compressed air, or a vacuum and/or a brush.
5.
If the concrete slab is only 6” deep, insert a plug in each hole to keep the epoxy in place until it hardens. Place the plug
over the long end of a bolt and then use the bolt to push the plug to the bottom of the hole.
6.
Fill each hole with epoxy to about 2
1/2
” to 3” below the top. Continue immediately to the next step because the
epoxy sets within about eight minutes.
NOTE: Inserting the threaded bolts displaces the epoxy, causing it to fill the holes to grade level. If the epoxy is below
grade level, you can add more after the next step.
7.
Place the Installation Template over the holes. This ensures the relative position of the bolts and that the flange of the
pole fits over the bolts.
8.
Insert the bolts through the template, into the holes. Rotate bolts as you insert them to draw epoxy into the threads.
IMPORTANT:
Epoxy is very thick. Therefore, it is important to rotate the bolts as you insert them. This allows the
epoxy to fully coat the threads of the bolts, reducing the amount of trapped air.
NOTE:
You can leave the installation template in place.
9.
If needed, top up the holes with epoxy to grade level.
10. Allow the epoxy to cure for at least 15 minutes* before removing the top nuts and washers and 45 minutes* before
applying torque to the nuts.
*Epoxy cure times may vary depending on the type of epoxy you are using. Refer to the cure times provided with the epoxy.
You are now ready to install the CPF25’s pedestal mount as described in Section 2 of this installation guide.
