CONCRETE WEDGE ANCHOR MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Place the assembled slide on the deck relative to the pool wall. Ensure that the exit flume clears any
coping. Slide may be angled slightly providing all dimensions are maintained as noted in the
"Manufacturer's Placement Instructions" noted on pages 41 and 41.
The Vortex slide must be anchored into a concrete pad that is a minimum of 8" thick.
2.
3.
With the slide in its proper location, center punch or otherwise mark through the mounting holes in
the base plates so that a visible mark is apparent on the concrete.
4.
In order to protect the slide from being damaged by the drill bit, move the slide aside before drilling
the holes into the concrete deck.
5.
Drill the holes to the required depth using a hammer drill and a concrete drill bit. Use tape or a
marking on the drill bit to ensure that the hole is drilled to the required depth. Keep the drill straight
and perpendicular to the deck surface while drilling in order to maintain proper holding strength of
the concrete wedge anchors.
6.
Clear the newly drilled holes of all debris.
7.
Move the slide, stairway or ladder back into position over the holes in the concrete deck.
8.
Assemble the nylon washer, flat washer, and nut so that the top of the nut is flush with the top of the
wedge anchor.
Drive the assembled concrete wedge anchors though the slide's mounting plate holes until the nylon
9.
washer is flush with the base plate as shown in Figure II.
10. Expand concrete wedge anchor by tightening the nut 3 to 5 turns.
11. When anchor is set, remove the hex nut and install a lock washer.
12. Retighten the hex nut to a torque of 25 ft.-lbs. See Figure JJ for
the final assembly.
