INSTALLATION GUIDE

Securely anchoring your HomeVault S2 and HomeVault S2 Plus

  • As concrete generally provides the best anchoring possibility, expanding concrete anchor bolts are supplied; if fixing to another medium alternative specialist fixings should be used, these are obtainable from normal hardware sources or can be discussed with a professional installer.
  • NB. Anchoring holes are designed to allow for the use of 10mm diameter through fixings to be used and a minimum of two supplied anchors must be used to conform to the requirements of EN 14450 Level S2 Select a position with a level, good and sound floor and wall to install your
  • HomeVault. Check that no cabling, water or gas services run directly beneath or behind (if wall fixing) the unit and that you can gain full access to the Home- Vault interior when fixed.
  • The following tools are required in addition to a pencil, when anchoring with the concrete anchors supplied. Hammer Drill, Spirit level, 10mm masonry drill, Small hammer, 14mm socket wrench or spanner, Air Cannister or Vacuum Cleaner to remove debris from holes.
