MOUNTING HARDWARE
The MTV and SPS-TL models can be mounted using dowels. All other models of sluice gates must be mounted using
either wall anchors or chemical anchors. Hardware size can be found on the model specific datasheets. Wapro can
supply complete mounting kits for all sluice gate models.
MOUNTING SEQUENCE
1.
Check the sluice gate for any damage sustained.
2.
Check that the mounting surface gasket is mounted and undamaged.
3.
Place the sluice gate against the wall in its final position.
4.
Use the mounting holes as a drilling guide.
5.
Mount the anchors or dowels in the wall.
6.
Loosely screw in the fasteners. Make sure that all bolts thread easily without applying force to the sluice gate.
7.
Tighten the fasteners evenly using a spiral tightening sequence. Torque the fasteners to the torque specified for
fastener type.
MOUNTING ORIENTATION
Sluice gates have no specified mounting orientation. In cases where the sluice gate is not mounted vertically, care
must be taken to ensure that debris cannot accumulate around the mechanical parts of the sluice gate. Contact
Wapro for advice.
SERVICE ACCESS
To be able to perform proper repair and servicing of the sluice gate, the sluice gate must be accessible from the front
and the top of the sluice gate.
MOUNTING ON CURVED WALL
Sluice gates can be manufactured for mounting directly on curved walls. Contact Wapro for advice.
