WALL MOUNTED (AT THE END OF THE CHANNEL)
Step 1: Concrete construction inspection
Check that the concrete wall meets the requirements described in Section 4.
Verify that all installation material specified on the GAD is available. The equipment is installed by means of
anchor bolts. Construction sealant shall be used between the frame and the concrete wall. Alternatively, sponge
EPDM rubber can be used.
Step 2: Equipment pre-installation
Present the unit to its required position and ensure that the invert of the frame is flush with the civils. Also make
sure that the equipment is centered with respect to the channel opening (See
Figure 12
).
Drill and install one anchor bolt on each side of the frame. After installing the first anchor bolt, and prior to
drilling the hole on the other side, make sure the frame is perfectly leveled.
Step 3: Construction sealant application
Remove the unit from the wall (first remove the nuts of the anchor bolts).
Apply construction sealant all around the perimeter of the frame. Be sure not to get sealant on the gate’s seals
and/or guides, as this may cause leakage or damage. (See
Figure 13
).
Re-install the slide gate on the wall and tighten both anchor bolts.
Step 4: Final installation
Drill and install the rest of the anchor bolts (See
Figure 14
).
CAUTION! If the unit is not completely in contact with the wall, do not over-tighten the anchor bolts. Over
tightening may bend or distort the frame. If the wall flatness and levelness is according to the specified standards,
the construction sealant will fill in the remaining voids.
Apply construction sealant around the frame perimeter in order to fill in any existing gap between the wall and
the frame (200ml/meter) Wipe away the excess sealant to leave a smooth finish.
