The recommended procedure when mounting the Adaptor Plate directly to the brick
structure is as follows:
1. Build the brick enclosure up to 36” high (8 rows of bricks) from the pavement.
2. Fill the enclosure with concrete.
3. Sink the Adaptor Plate with Mounting Bolts into the wet concrete. Position the
Adaptor Plate 4 ½” back from the front edge of the brick. Level the Adaptor Plate
while the concrete is still wet.
4. After the concrete has cured, secure the Portal TI to the Adaptor Plate with the (3)
flat washers, lock washers and bolts supplied with the brick kit. Pull the wires up
through the cable entrance ports on the bottom of the Portal enclosure and finish
the brick structure.
