C09716 Antenna Sealant
For Installing a Direct Buried and Sealed Antenna
Locations where minimum pavement reconstruction is expected can bury the ground antenna
in a 7 inches x 7 inches x 2 inches deep recess chiseled in the pavement.
1 Saw a 3/16 inch x 1 inch deep slot that will be used to route the antenna lead into the Fuel
Point amplifier.
2 At the island, chisel in a second recess to allow drilling a ½ inch diameter hole starting below
the pavement and at an angle into the base of the pump.

3 After machining the pavement, flush the recesses and slots free of debris.
4 Add dry sand and tamp to fill the antenna recess, leaving a 1 inch deep recess.
5 Route lead-in cable supplied from the antenna recess to the FP Amplifier mounted in the base
of the pumps and wire to antenna with butt connectors supplied.
6 Mix ¼ gallon of sealant with hardener according to instructions on the container and seal the
antenna and lead-in slot. Sealant should be used only in the top ½ inch of the installation.
WARNING
Ensure that you use appropriate sealing fittings to fill in any holes in the secondary fuel spill
containers.
