▶ Required Materials:
As a standard, ORBINOX CC Channel Gates are mounted Embedded in Concrete (EC). Field adjustment hex
bolts are required to center the gate in the appropriate recess prior to embedding in concrete. For detailed
information about the type, size and quantity of the required bolts, or any other specific installation notes or
materials, please refer to the notes on the “General Arrangement Drawing”.
▶ Installation procedure:
Step 1: Concrete construction inspection
•The concrete construction shall be flat, level and
plumb, and shall be in accordance to DIN 18202
or ACI 117-06 standards (see section 6). If
necessary, use non-shrink grout in order to meet the
specified standard. The minimum concrete strength
shall be 25Mpa (3,625 PSI)
Step 2: Align the channel gate in the wall recess
•Position and center the channel gate in the recess
of the wall, using the field adjustment bolts screwed
in the “Side Centering Fittings” and “Bottom
Leveling Brackets” (see Figure 1). Make sure that
the channel gate is centered in the channel. NOTE:
the smaller CC Channel Gates do not come with
“Bottom Leveling Brackets”. If this is the case, follow
Step 1B prior to starting with “Step 2” in order to
be able to align the gate vertically
•Align the gate vertically adjusting the bolts on the
“Bottom Leveling Brackets” (see Figure 2). Make
sure that the frame invert is flush with the invert of
the channel
•Align the gate horizontally adjusting the bolts on
the “Lateral Centering Fittings” (see Figure 3).
Make sure that the Frame Guide is flush with the
channel side wall. Additionally, make sure that the
gate is perpendicular to the side walls of the
channel
Step 3: Embed the channel gate in the wall recess
•Pour the second phase of concrete. Take special
care not to damage the seals
•Do not pour in more than one meter concrete
columns to avoid damage to the frame
