Product Usage Instructions

To install the EverCharge pedestal system, follow the appropriate installation instructions based on whether you are installing into new concrete or an existing concrete slab. Make sure to have the necessary tools and materials required for the specific installation type.

Getting Started
The EverCharge pedestal system can be installed either:

• Into new concrete
• Onto an existing concrete surface (on an intermediate floor only) The components you need to use, the tools required, and the installation steps vary depending on the type of installation.

This manual provides basic guidelines for both types of installations.

Site Preparation

Warning : Under no circumstances are concrete anchors (wedge, sleeve, etc.) to be used in the installation.

Warning : Failure to comply with these instructions limits our liability

Installation Into New Concrete

Important :

• Always check local codes to ensure compliance. The guidelines in this manual may need to be adjusted to comply with codes that apply at your installation location.
• The concrete pad must measure at least 24” on all sides.
• Bolt threads must extend 3” above the concrete.
• The conduit must extend 12” to 24” above the concrete.

Tools and Materials Required

• 1/2” – 13 x 9” F1554 Grade 55 hot-dipped galvanized threaded bolts (2)
• Galvanized Washers (4)
• 1/2” – 13 Galvanized hex nuts (8)
• Mounting hole template

Note : Always check local codes to ensure compliance. The guidelines in this manual may need to be adjusted to comply with codes that apply at your installation location.

Installation Instructions

1. Prepare the threaded rods by installing two nuts, with a washer in between at one end of the rod. Install two more nuts, with a washer in between them, approximately 6-6 ¼” from the bottom of the other set of nuts (see picture).
   • This is to ensure a minimum of 3” of threaded rod is exposed after installation.
2. Immediately after pouring the concrete, insert the threaded rods 6” into the concrete, until the bottom of the second set of nuts is against the concrete, at a distance of 4.25” apart, as pictured, using the mounting bracket as a guide to ensure rods are spaced appropriately. Ensure the rods are being rotated as they are inserted to allow concrete to flow into the threads
3. When the concrete is fully set, remove the exposed nuts and proceed to the mounting instructions.

Installation into an Existing Concrete Slab

Tools and Materials Required

Warning : Under no circumstances are concrete anchors (wedge, sleeve, etc.) to be used in the installation.

• 1/2” – 13 x 9” F1554 Grade 55 hot-dipped galvanized threaded bolts (2)
• Galvanized Washers (2)
• 1/2” – 13 Galvanized hex nuts (4)
• Electric or hammer drill
• Slow Spiral Round-Shank Masonry Drill Bit, 5/8” diameter, 10” Drill Depth, 12” Length Overall
• Drill Bit for Concrete Embedded Rebar, Round, 5/8” bit size, 12” Length Overall
• Mounting hole template

Note : Always check local codes to ensure compliance. The guidelines in this manual may need to be adjusted to comply with codes that apply at your installation location.

Installation Instructions

1. Install two nuts, with a washer between them, so that a length of at least 6” extends beyond the bottom of the lower nut, and at least 3” above the bottom of the lower nut.
2. Using the stiffener plate as a template, mark the hole locations to be drilled. The holes should be at a distance of 4.25” apart, center-to-center
   • Note : If a buried conduit exists, place the center of the template over the conduit so that the holes are positioned on either side of the conduit.
3. Remove the template, and drill two 5/8” holes at least 6” into the concrete. The holes mustn’t penetrate the bottom of the concrete. If the concrete is penetrated, the threaded rod installation may be compromised and inadequate for use.
   • Notes
   • The bolts must be parallel to each other after installation. After drilling approximately 1-1 ½”, use a level to verify the drill holes are plumb by checking the angle of the drill.
   • If drilling through the rebar, you may need an additional drill bit for the rebar. Always begin the hole with the standard concrete drill bit, and switch to the rebar drill bit only when drilling through rebar.
4. Ensure the hole is free from excess dust and particles after drilling by using a vacuum, compressed air, and/or brush.
5. Fill each hole with concrete epoxy until 2 ½-3” below to top of the holes.
6. Begin inserting the threaded rods into the epoxy-filled holes, rotating as the rods are inserted.
   • Note: it is critical that the rods are rotated as they are inserted into the epoxy to ensure air gaps are removed, and threads are fully coated in epoxy.
7. Fill the holes to grade level with epoxy if necessary. Ensure epoxy is not extending outside of the hole or on the surrounding area, remove if necessary.
8. Insert the mounting bracket onto the threaded rods and align the rods as necessary. The mounting bracket should slide up and down the rods freely. Be sure to let the epoxy cure according to the manufacturer’s specifications before removing and/or applying torque to the nuts.
9. Remove the mounting bracket and bolts after the epoxy has cured. Clear the area of any epoxy or other debris, ensuring a clean level surface.
