- NEVER INSTALL AN ANCHOR IN THE CENTER HOLE.
Concrete Anchor (QT8111) Installation
- With pad in place, drill four (4) holes in concrete to 1.375” minimum depth, centrally located in anchor holes using 3/16” masonry bit (included in QT8111). Center the drill bit in the anchor holes.
- Secure pad using four (4) 1/4” x 4” concrete anchors with fender washers.(included).
Place the equipment onto the Qlik Pad for Condensers and center.
Assemble four (4) condenser unit tie-down assemblies as shown below.
Insert tie-down assemblies into appropriate pad slots by angling bottom retaining washer as shown and dropping into slot
Tie-down assemblies must be located one (1) per each side of the unit or two (2) on two (2) opposing sides of the unit.
Slide tie-down assemblies inward toward unit until L-bracket meets up with unit. Tighten down flange nut on tie-down assembly to secure it to the Qlik Pad for Condensers.
Install two (2) self-tapping hex head screws through each tie-down assembly
into base of unit, securing the unit to the Qlik Pad for Condensers.
Here, the completed tie-down assemblies are shown in-place, attached with self-tapping hex head screws to the condenser unit, which is centered on the Qlik Pad for Condensers.
