Anchor Clamp Installation
Installation of anchor clamps is recommended in high wind
and seismically active areas. A Pentair Anchor Clamp Kit
(P/N 178840) is not included with this filter, but can be
purchased separately.
Anchor clamps hold the FullFloXF
D.E. Filter to the equipment pad in order to withstand high
winds caused during extreme weather, such as hurricanes.
To install the anchor clamps:
1. Be sure the filter is in its permanent location on the
equipment pad.
2. Place the clamps into the base of the filter in the four
anchor slots shown in Figure 3.
Note: Bolts and bolt anchors are not included with the
filter. The installer must provide 1/4" x 1-3/8" stainless steel
anchor bolts and the appropriate size concrete anchor to
mount the clamp to the equipment pad. Be sure to check
local codes.
3. Fit the hook of each clamp into the anchor slots on the
base panel of the filter. See Figure 3.
4. Mark the position of the hole in each clamp on the equipment
pad.
5. Use a masonry drill bit and drill a hole in the cement with
a diameter as determined by the concrete anchor, at each
of the marks on the equipment pad. The hole should be
approximately 1.5 inches deep. See Figure 4.
6. Insert a bolt anchor into each of the holes. Be sure the
anchors are set completely into the holes.
7. Position the anchor clamps so that the holes in the
clamps are over the bolt anchors.
Be sure that the clamp hooks are over the lip of the filter
base.
8. Insert an anchor bolt through each clamp into the bolt
anchor and tighten to secure the clamp and filter to the
equipment pad.
