3.3 Enclosure Installation
Procedure:
NOTE: A 25+ year continuous vapor barrier must be used between the
enclosure and pad to prevent moisture ingress and possible
corrosion caused by metal to concrete contact. The vapor barrier
material (such as 30 lb. felt, neoprene pond liner, or heavy grade
tar paper) should initially extended at least 6" in all directions
around the perimeter of the enclosure.
1. Unwrap the enclosure and inspect the contents. If items are missing or
damaged, contact Alpha Technologies and the shipper immediately.
2. Place the vapor barrier material on the pad.
3. Unbolt the enclosure from the shipping pallet.
4. Using an appropriate crane and spreader bar, lift the enclosure off the
shipping pallet, and place over the mounting studs or inserts on the pad.
5. Secure the enclosure to the pour in place pad using four stainless steel flat
washers, lockwashers, and nuts. Secure the enclosure to the pre cast pad
using stainless steel bolts, flat washers and lock washers.
6. Trim the vapor barrier material.
