Roxtec B frame User manual

Installation Instructions
Roxtec B frame
For correct casting of frames
into concrete walls, casting
moulds in cellular plastic are
available.
Frame Assembly
Remove the protective foil from the
sealing strip on every short side.
Assemble the frame by inserting the bolts and tighten the nuts. The frame
can easily be assembled around already routed cables or pipes.
Installation, Casting
Before concrete is poured,
the frame and casting mould
is fixed in position with the
frame flange inside the wall.
To be able to make a correct
installation the size of the
opening in the wall must be 5 mm
(0.197") wider than the inside
dimensions of the frame on all
sides. The reason for this is the
fact that the stayplates need this
space to be able to move inside
the frame during installation and
compression.
The B frame cast and sealed in
concrete wall.

Theoretically recommended dimensions
Mark a rectangular opening
according to frame type (see table
below).
Use the frame as template for the
drilling of the screw holes.
Hole in flange Ø = 9 mm (0.354”).
Attach the frame to the cabinet/
wall using bolts and nuts. An optional
rubber gasket can be placed between
frame and cabinet/wall.
Tighten the screws.

Modules installation
Remove any dirt inside the frame. Lubricate the inside surfaces of
the frame with Roxtec Lubricant,
especially into the corners.
Adapt modules which are to hold
cables or pipes by peeling layers until
you reach the gap seen in pic. 3.
Achieve a 0.1-1.0 mm gap between
the two halves when held against
the cable/pipe.
Lubricate all modules for the frame
thoroughly, both the inside and the
outside surfaces.
Insert the modules according to
your installation plan (transit plan).
Usually start with the largest
modules.
Insert a stayplate on top of the
finished row of modules.
Before inserting the final row of
modules, insert two stayplates.
Separate the two stayplates and
insert the final row of modules
between the stayplates.
Drop the upper stayplate on top of
the modules.
Lubricate all sides of the wedge
sparsely, except front and back.
Please read the markings on the
wedge and turn it correctly before
inserting it in the top of the frame
(standard position). Face with
“Stayplate this side” must always
face a stayplate.
Tighten the screws until full stop,
approx. 20 Nm (15 ft.lb.).
Attach the Wedge Clip to the wedge
bolts to check that the wedge has
been properly tightened.
Optional wedge positions
(anywhere within the frame).
Stayplate Clips (D) and Stayplate
Clamps (E) can be used to simplify
horizontal assembly.

Note
For optimum reliability, wait 24 hours or longer after installation before exposing the cables/pipes to strain or pressure.
To be used with: RM components.
 To simplify installation in combination frames, fill all openings before tightening the wedge.
Cables shall go straight through the frame.
Packing space
Frame sizes 2 , 4, 6 and 8 accommodate the
following height of modules: 60 mm, 120 mm,
180 mm and 240 mm. As example shows for
frame size 6 the 180 mm can be the result of
4 rows of RM 40 plus one row of RM 20.
