Installation to be performed in unbroken concrete only. Anchor holes should be the same distance as the anchor length from any edge. Minimum 3000 PSI, 6” thick is recommended.
-
Bollards must be properly sized for expected loads and speeds. Consult www.SlowStop.com/resources/installation/.
-
Study Figure 1 to understand the arrangement of all parts.

Pipe and anchors used must be as specified by SlowStop.
Installation and Assembly
-
Layout and mark final location using the base as a guide. Remove base.
Note: Keep the bollard 0.32 x height away from any solid object to allow for tilting. -
Place the elastomer in the center of the location and place adapter on top of elastomer. When applicable, turn the adapter so that the set screws are facing the direc on of impact.
-
Fit base over the adapter so that it rests on the adapter flange and covers the elastomer.
-
Again using the base as a guide, drill four, six, or eight (as required) holes deep enough to completely sink the anchors. Clean out the holes from concrete dust.
-
Tighten the concrete screw Anchors in a star pattern, compressing the elastomer and making the base flush to the concrete. Anchor head must be tightened firmly flush to base.
-
Insert the tube into the adapter and firmly tighten all set-screws to hold it in place.
-
If using a plastic cap, place the cap in the top of the pipe and gently pound it in place using a mallet.
-
When complete, the assembly should appear like Figure 2. (Models may vary.)
Note: Do not concrete fill the bollard. The system is designed for the pipe to be the first point of bending.
