Installation of the APS-PE Penstock
The below set of guidelines should be followed in the manner it is written
Clean and check the mounting surface:
a. For sealing, this should be within a 2-3mm tolerance per metre and any pockets or
lumps needs to be resolved, prior to installation
b. The surface should be vertical
c. Clean and, where possible, dry the surface to remove dirt and grease
d. Check all dimensions to ensure correct fit, prior to installation.
Prepare the APS-PE for Installation:
a. Position the APS-PE in place over the outfall, with the inverts of the outfall and APS-
PE backplate aligned
b. Ensure the APS-PE is level and vertical and secure to prevent movement
c. Mark the mounting holes on the wall
Note: We always recommend starting with the top corner fixings, and installing these bolts. This
prevents movement of the APS-PE when marking the other holes.
d. Clean the surface of the APS-PE back plate to remove dirt, grease and water
e. Apply sealant in a continuous 5mm bead around the opening and around the fixing
holes (take care not to smear this when moving the APS-PE into position)
f.
Re-position the APS-PE as before, and install the top corner anchors as per the resin
manufacturer's instruction (enclosed with fixing kit)
g. Continue to install the remaining side frame anchors in the wall
h. To ensure a good seal, check that no resin has exited the fixing hole; remove any
resin that would prevent the frame sitting flat to the wall
i.
Once cured, secure the APS-PE to the wall using a washer, spring washer and nut on
each bolt
Tighten all fixings evenly, to the recommended torque.
j.
Note: On larger flaps, the fixings may require multiple tightening as the seal is compressed.
k. Place the plugs in the holes of the invert and soffit beams, and secure using the
screw-anchors.
