Chapter 3: Preparing the Installation Site
This chapter describes how to prepare the installation site for cabinet placement, including establishing the cabinet
mounting structure. You can install the cabinet onto a concrete foundation pad, a pole, or a foundation vault.
For pad-mount applications, you can construct a concrete pad using the Clearfield cast-in-place template or use a
pre-cast concrete pad. A composite foundation vault, available from a third-party supplier, can provide easy under-cabinet
access or serve
as a riser.
For all mounting configurations, Clearfield requires installation of an earth ground circuit at the installation site to provide
lightning protection.
