Positioning and Securing the Cabinet

1. Position the Battery Cabinet

   1. Align the Battery: Lift the battery cabinet overhead and position it onto the pad. Align the cabinet precisely over the conduit.

2. Installing Anchors

Anchor Points

• Drill Anchor Holes
  With the battery cabinet positioned, use a hammer drill to create anchor holes at the designated mounting points on the cabinet’s base.

• Vacuum Out the Holes
  Thoroughly clean out dust and debris using a vacuum or compressed air. Removing all debris is critical for effective epoxy adhesion.

• Install Epoxy Anchors
  For anchoring, use a 1/2" ASTM F1554 Grade 36 threaded rod (or M14 equivalent) with Hilti HIT-HY 200 V3 epoxy or an equivalent product approved for high-strength applications.

  Epoxy Application Process - Follow Epoxy manufacturers' Instructions

  • Insert the epoxy dispenser's nozzle deep into each hole and fill it from the bottom up, ensuring even distribution.

  • After filling, immediately insert the threaded rod into the hole with a twisting motion to ensure the epoxy fully coats the rod and hole walls.

  • Follow the manufacturer's specified curing time to ensure the epoxy hardens completely before securing nuts.

3. Secure the Cabinet

   1. Torque the Anchors
      Once the epoxy has fully cured (consult the Epoxy Manufactures' Instructions for cure time guidelines based on temperature conditions), attach flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts to each threaded rod. Torque the nuts to the epoxy manufacturer’s specification to fasten the battery cabinet to the concrete pad.
