Tower installation
These installation instructions are intended to help you prepare before
your tower arrives. If discrepancies exist between these instructions
and those shipped with the tower, the instructions shipped with the
tower will govern.
1. Prior to placement of the tower, confirm that the supporting platform
is level, and that the anchor bolt holes are correctly located in accor-
dance with Marley drawings.
2. Place the bottom module on your prepared supports, aligning anchor
bolt holes with those in your supporting steel. Make sure that the ori-
entation agrees with your intended piping arrangement. Attach tower
to supporting steel with four

diameter bolts and flat washers (by
others). Position flat washers between the bolt head and the tower
basin flange.
3.
Before setting top module in place on bottom module, clean any debris
from the underside of the top module fill, skid and beams and from the
top of the bottom module. Apply the mastic sealing strip supplied with
the tower according to the
“MCW Field Installation Manual” Assembly
Instructions. Place top module on the top peripheral bearing surface
of bottom module, aligning mating holes as it is set in place. Attach
top module to bottom module with fasteners provided according to
“MCW Field Installation Manual” Assembly Instructions.
4. Attach your cold water supply piping to the cold water basin outlet
connection in accordance with drawing instructions, utilizing gaskets
provided.
Do not support your pipe from the tower or outlet connection—support
it externally.
5. Attach makeup water supply piping to appropriately-sized float valve
connection located in cold water basin side wall. Install the drain and
overflow according to the
“MCW Field Installation Manual” Assembly
Instructions. If you wish to pipe overflow and drain water to a remote
discharge point, make those connections at this time also.
6. Attach your warm water return piping to the inlet connections of the
tower.
