Concrete Foundation Preparation
4C Pedestal Mount Outdoor Installations
NEW CONCRETE BASE:
1) Depending on climatic and soil conditions in the area of installation, optional foundation
material may be necessary as shown. Consult local building codes for recommendations.
2) Refer to Table 1 for thickness (h), width (w), and depth (d) of the concrete pad alternatives.
3) Concrete shall have a compressive strength of 3000 psi @ 28 days, contain 4% min ~ 6%
max air entrapment, and be placed with a 3.50~4.50 slump in accordance with the American
Concrete Institute (ACI) Publication 301.
4) Use wire mesh as per (Standard) or fiber reinforced concrete as per (Standard).
EXISTING CONCRETE BASE:
1) Existing concrete pad must be at least 47” wide and 4” thickness.
2) Concrete base and anchor bolts may be reused only if:
a. existing ½” diameter expansion anchor bolts are firmly embedded in the concrete and
not damaged or corroded;
b. concrete foundation is not damaged; and
c. bolt hole pattern of the new box matches the installed anchor bolts.
3) Additional considerations for using existing concrete include:
a. if concrete is only 4” thick, then option ‘ b.’ in Table 2 below cannot be used
b. any unused, existing anchor bolts must be cut flush to the level of the concrete surface
c. if concrete is damaged, replacement of foundation pad is required

Pedestal Installation and Leveling Guide for 4CPM
In the event the concrete pad that the versatile™ pedestal mount unit is being installed on is not
level, the pedestal may be adjusted.
There are a number of leveling techniques used by construction professionals; however, the
following leveling method is being suggested as one alternative to consider.
If embedded anchors are not already in place in existing concrete, determine placement and
location for anchors. See “Concrete Foundation Preparation Guide” in previous section for
anchor recommendations and placement dimensions.
Step 1 –Install Anchors (Skip step if existing concrete and anchors already in place)
1) Tape pedestal base template to concrete in proper location(s).
2) Drill holes through template to proper depth.
3) Remove template and debris.
4) Pound anchors in place.
Step 2 –Check for Level
1) Place rubber pad over anchors onto concrete pad.
2) Place pedestal over rubber pad and check if level.
3) If leveling required, shim pedestal with up to three (3) ½” washers (provided by others) on a
given bolt.
4) ½” washers, if required, should be placed between rubber pad and bottom of pedestal base.
5) Check for level.
Step 3 –Install Pedestal
1) Continue to next section to install pedestal to cabinet once proper leveling has been
determined.
If concrete pad not
level, washers may be
used to level unit.
