4.4 STILT MOUNTED BASEPLATES
As mentioned previously, the
ChemBasePlus™ is inherently rigid due to its
thickness of construction. The end result is a
baseplate that can be stilt mounted while not
sacrificing on reliability. The pump/motor
alignment techniques for Goulds’ Stilt Mounted
baseplates follow the same methodology of the
grouted in baseplates. The key difference
revolves around the way the baseplate is
leveled.
1) The stilt mounted baseplate is set on a
flat surface with no anchor bolts
needed.
2) The baseplate is leveled by using the
nut stilt adjuster kit. Refer to
Figures 8 and 9 for suggested
assembly instructions.

a) Elevate the baseplate assembly
above the floor to allow stilt
assembly.
b) Measure the approximate desired
height of the baseplate assembly
above the foundation.
c) Locate the bottom nuts above the
stilt threaded bolts to desired
height.
d) Insert the lock washer over the stilt
bolt.
e) Move the threaded stilt bolt up
through the holes in the bottom of
the baseplate and secure in place.
f) Attach the remaining lock washer
and nuts on to the threaded stilt
bolt. Fasten the nut on to the lock
washer.
g) Secure all four threaded stilts.
Now locate the baseplate
assembly over the flexible leveling
feet and tighten the feet to the
threaded stilts. Now lower the
entire assembly to the foundation.
h) Make final level and height
adjustments by simply loosening
the top nuts and turning the bottom
nuts to raise or lower the
baseplate assembly.
i) Finally, first tighten the top and
bottom nuts located on the
respective lock washers and then
tighten the other nuts to insure the
baseplate is properly locked in
place.
At this point, follow the steps as listed above
(Steps 12, 13, and 14) for grouted baseplates.
