IN DECK RETROFIT INSTALLATION USING IN DECK ANCHOR SOCKETS
(CONT.)
• Fill area around the anchor with mixture.
• Make sure the top edge of the anchor is flush with the concrete surface.
• Check that the anchor is level and plumb – critical for proper installation of product.
• Allow the concrete or epoxy to fully cure prior to installing product.
If the depth of the existing concrete is less than the required 5” depth, remove the fill material below the concrete
to obtain 6” depth. The diameter of the hole below the concrete should be slightly larger than the core hole.
(See Figure 2)
PERMANENT CONCRETE INSTALLATION:
Some Inter-Fab rails can be mounted directly into the concrete deck. These rails have a hole drilled through the
bottom of each support leg, 1-1/2” up from the end of the rail.
• Place a 6” long piece of #3 rebar through the hole on each support leg. Determine the correct positioning
of product around the pool. Confirm the maximum/minimum distance from water’s edge.
• Check your local electrical code to determine bonding requirements. Bond anchor in accordance to code.
• Support the product as the concrete is poured and during cure time.
SPECIAL AFTER MARKET DECK TOP MOUNTED RAIL INSTALLATION:
Determine the correct positioning of each product around the pool. Confirm the maximum/minimum distance
from water’s edge.
• Check your local electrical code to determine bonding requirements. Bond rail or flange in accordance
to code.
• With a marker, mark the 3 flange hole locations for each flange.
• Using a 1/2” masonry bit and hammer drill, drill each hole 1-9/16” deep. Do not drill further down than
1-9/16” deep. Drop in anchors must NOT extend above deck.
INSTALLATION TIP: Measure 1-9/16” on 1/2” drill bit and mark it with a piece of tape or marker so each
hole is drilled to the correct depth.
• Place anchor in hole and tap until flush with concrete.
• Expand anchor with setting tool provided. Anchor is properly expanded when shoulder of setting tool is flush
with top of anchor.
• Align product flanges with anchors.
• Secure product with flat washer, lock washer and 1” bolt.
