- Use a minimum of 6” of sand or gravel as a base for the pad for leveling purposes.
| When pad mounting, the compression strength of the pad must be at least 4000
psi as determined by ASTM C39 test of compression strength of concrete
cylinders. The slump of the concrete shall be 2” to 4” as determined by ASTM
C143 test method.
