7. Insert bolts into holes drilled in foundation.
8. Install one washer and one nut on each anchor bolt. Place a driver pipe on top of the anchor bolt and use the
long punch to seat anchor bolts against baseplate (see Figure 4-10 14).
Do not apply excessive force to the anchor bolts-- bending of the baseplate could occur.
When installing anchor bolts, make sure that there is adequate bolt length to extend into the concrete
foundation.
9. Attach one end of the ground strap to the upper block.
10. Insert a bolt through the wire terminal on the loose end and thread the bolt into the hole on the baseplate.
Tighten the bolt securely with a wrench (see Figure 4-11 14).
11. Erect temporary wooden forms around each baseplate and pour 9000 PSI, non-shrinking, epoxy or cement
grout into the forms beneath the baseplate (see Figure 4-12). A funnel with a long tube can be used to pour
grout into the forms while working from above the access hole.
Figure 4-12. Temporary Wooden Forms Around Baseplate
12. After pouring the grout, tap the form several times with a hammer to remove any air voids beneath the
baseplate; it must have even support from continuous grout contact.
13. Remove the temporary wooden forms when the grout is set (see Figure 4-13). Grout should be allowed to
set for at least 24 hours before removing the wooden forms.

14. After grout has hardened, tighten anchor bolt nuts.
