Step 2 Attach a short drain pipe to the end of the sleeve: Use a 10–12in. (25-30cm) piece of PVC tube to function
as a drain pipe to allow moisture to flow out of the sleeve. Center the PVC pipe on the hole in the bottom of the
sleeve and affix it to the sleeve, for instance with silicone adhesive. Allow the adhesive to dry before proceeding
to step 3.
Step 3: Fill the bottom of the hole with 16-20 inches of gravel, and then set the sleeve in the hole. Press the PVC
drain into the gravel until the top of the sleeve is flush with the ground, as shown in FIG. 4.
Step 4 Slowly fill the hole with concrete: Use 3,000psi compression rated concrete to fill the space around the
sleeve. Steadily fill the hole with concrete, and check the orientation of the sleeve as the hole fills. Adjust the
position of the sleeve as necessary. Do not completely fill the hole. Instead, stop pouring/adding concrete when
the level is 4-6inches below ground level.
Step 5 Set the bollard into position and check vertical levelness: Set the bollard on the support ledge of the sleeve
box, and rotate the bollard until the lock tab contacts the lock plate as shown in FIG. 5. Check the vertical
levelness of the bollard. Adjust the position of the bollard sleeve as needed to level the bollard. Fill the remainder
of the hole with concrete. Check the levelness of the bollard and adjust the position of the sleeve if necessary.

Step 7 Install the cover plates: Slide the cover plates into the slots on each side of the sleeve box (see FIG. 6).

sleeve box.
