INSTALLATION GUIDE • SERIES 44+ MODULAR FLOOR GRID SYSTEM
ZIS1049 0916
PREPARATION
Orientation: Grids are designed to be installed with slots running parallel to cable pathway or support systems
such as vertical cable trays or racks (Fig 3).
Floor Opening: The EZ-Path Modular Floor Grid System installs into preformed, rectangular openings through
concrete floors. Opening must be properly sized and positioned. Dimensions vary according to the model selected
and are shown in Table B. Mounting of the grid frame requires an additional 2-1/2” of clear unobstructed space
beyond the periphery of the opening on all sides. Where standing water or flooding is a concern, it is recommended
that the grid frame be mounted to raised curbs formed into the concrete (Fig 4).
INSTALLATION
Assemble Grid Frame: Assemble grid frame by installing 1/4-20 x 1/2” bolts and nuts through flanges at mitered
corners (Fig 5).
Mark and Drill Anchor Holes: Mark lines parallel to and an 1-1/4” from the periphery of the opening on all sides.
Place assembled grid over opening so that these lines appear under anchor holes in frame on all four sides.
Mark anchor holes and trace reference marks around the four outside corners of the grid frame (Figs 6 & 7).
Remove frame and drill holes for anchors.
