2.0 Installation, continued
2.3 Enclosure Installation
Follow the procedure below for attaching the enclosure to a pedestal support or precast pad.
Tools and Materials Required:
• Ratchet set with 6" (152.4mm) extension.
• Vapor Barrier
• Utility Knife
Procedure:
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. With no less than two installation personnel, lift the enclosure off the shipping pallet and
place over the mounting studs on the pad.
5. Secure the enclosure to the pad using the hardware supplied with the precast pad or
pedestal support.
6. Trim the vapor barrier material.
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" (152.4mm) in all directions around the perimeter of the enclosure and later be trimmed
closer to the enclosure.
CAUTION!
