Ground Mount Installation Guide 4.0
Step 4: Place Post Mounts, ¾” Pipe & Couplers
1. Sleeve Post Mounts over vertical posts, while sliding ¾” pipe
through Post Mounts
2. Over hang ¾” pipe a minimum of 20” past the corner posts
3. ¾” pipes come in 21’ lengths, use structural couplers to connect
pipes & cut to length. (Not included)
4. Using a level & the Type 23 bolts provided – level the ¾” pipe and
pre‐drill vertical post with a 17/64 metal drill bit & insert the Type 23
bolts to secure Post Mount to proper height for level
5. See Specifications sheet for Post Mount Details
Ground Spike Cable Tie Off
1. Cable tie direction and location subject to final Structural Engineering
2. High Wind Zones – may require more cable ties
3. Low Wind Zones – may require less cable ties
4. Front row cable ties, may be reversed in high wind zones
5. Array Corner-Post cable ties may be angled in varying degrees for lateral
winds.
Cable Connection to ¾” pipe details
1. Wrap 3/16” Cable around ¾” pipe 3 times, then secure with U-Bolt
2. Measure the Cable Tensioning prior to securing to ¾” pipe
4. As much as possible keep angle of cables within the perimeter of the array to
prevent trip hazards, essentially 30” from base of vertical pole, field
confirmation required.
