2.3 Enclosure Installation
Procedure:
NOTE: A 25+ year continuous vapor barrier must be used
between the enclosure and pad to prevent moisture
ingress and possible corrosion caused by metal to
concrete contact. The vapor barrier material (such as
30 lb. felt, neoprene pond liner, or heavy grade tar
paper) should initially extended at least 6" in all
directions around the perimeter of the enclosure and
later be trimmed closer to the enclosure.
1. Unwrap the enclosure and inspect the contents. If items are
missing or damaged, contact Alpha Technologies and the shipper
immediately.
2. Place the vapor barrier material on the pad.
3. Unbolt the enclosure from the shipping pallet.
4. With no less than 2 installation personnel, lift the enclosure off the
shipping pallet, and place over the mounting studs on the pad.
5. Secure the enclosure to the pad using the hardware supplied
with the Precast Pad or Pedestal Support.
6. Trim the vapor barrier material.
