5.7 In facilities where a battery rack is already installed, use a spreader or putty
knife to seal the base of the battery rack with Adhesive as shown in Figure 5.3.
Using a brush, apply Adhesive to the battery rack anchoring hardware as shown
in Figure 5.4.
5.8 Starting at one corner, apply a thick bead of Adhesive to the bottom
surface of two of the Barrier Strips and spread evenly over the flange with a
3/16 inch v-notch trowel. Use the 1/4 inch v-notch trowel if additional adhesive
is required for filling gaps. Press the strips into place on the floor and align
them to the markings made in Step 4.3.
5.9 Apply Adhesive to the mating surfaces of the Corner Plate, spread the
Adhesive evenly over the surface using a 1/8 inch v-notch trowel, and press
the plate into place over the joint (Figure 5.5). Lightly bolt the Corner Plate to
the Strips using a carriage bolt, flat washer and hex bolt arrangement.
5.10 Proceed along the Barrier perimeter while repeating steps 5.6 and 5.7.
Use a Splice Plate where joining Strips is required (Figure 5.6).
