(150 mm)
Follow These Steps
1. Install two nuts with two washers captured between them. Lock
them together so the lower end of the nut is located 6” from the
bottom of the bolt. This sets the length of the exposed threads.
2. Use the Plastic Concrete Bolt Installation Template to mark the hole
locations.
3. Remove the template and drill three ¾” diameter holes 6” deep into
the concrete. When locating the template, consider the charging
station’s total footprint. For reference, a template for the CT4000
charging station with CMK is included in this kit.
NOTE:
• It is important that the bolts are parallel after installation.
Therefore, ensure the drill holes are plumb by using a bubble
level to check the angle of the drill after drilling 1 to 1 ½” .
• If installing over existing buried conduit, position the center
of the template around the conduit stub-up.
• You may need two drill bits - one for the concrete (with the
pilot) and another for the rebar (without the pilot). Always
start the hole using the standard drill bit, then switch to the
rebar drill bit only if drilling through rebar.
4. Remove all dust from inside the drilled holes using compressed
air, or a vacuum and/or a brush.
5. If the concrete slab is only 6” deep, insert a plug (McMaster
Product #9753K56) in each hole to keep the epoxy in place until
it hardens. Place the plug over the long end of a bolt and then
use the bolt to push the plug to the bottom of the hole.
6. Fill each hole with epoxy to about 2 ½” to 3” below the top.
Continue immediately to the next step because the epoxy sets
within about eight minutes.
NOTE: Inserting the threaded bolts displaces the epoxy, causing
it to fill the holes to grade level. If the epoxy is below grade level,
you can add more after the next step.
7. Place the Plastic Concrete Bolt Installation Template over the
holes. This ensures the relative position of the bolts and that the
flange of the pole fits over the bolts.
8. Insert the bolts through the template, into the holes. Rotate the
bolts as you insert them to draw epoxy into the threads.
IMPORTANT: The epoxy is very thick. Therefore, it is important to
rotate the bolts as you insert them. This allows the epoxy to fully
coat the threads of the bolts, reducing the amount of trapped air.
NOTE: The installation template can be left in place.
9. If needed, top up the holes with epoxy to grade level.
10. Allow the epoxy to cure for at least 15 minutes* before removing the top nuts and washers.
11. Allow the epoxy to cure for 45 minutes* before applying torque to the nuts.
*Epoxy cure times assume you are using epoxy ordered from McMaster (Product # 7505A55). If using a different type of epoxy, you may need
to adjust these times. Refer to the cure times provided with the epoxy.
You are now ready to install the CT4000’s bollard mount (see Chapter 2).
