Concrete Pad Preparation

Prepare each Power Hub installation site for cabinet mount by installing four anchor bolts into the concrete surface. The Power Hub can be mounted on either a newly poured concrete pad or an existing concrete surface.

To safely mount a Power Hub, the concrete pad must meet the specifications listed in Pad Stability Specifications.

If the existing pad does not meet the specifications above, a structural engineer must inspect and approve the pad for Power Hub dimensions and weight.
Ensure compliance with all applicable local codes. Modify these instructions as necessary to align with the codes in effect at your installation location.
Do not use expanding anchor bolts. Do not install the Power Hub on an asphalt surface.

Parts Required

5/8 inches anchor bolts (x4)

Tools and Consumables Required

The following table lists and describes tools and consumable items that you will need. The quantity listed in the table is based on installation of one Power Hub cabinet.

Installation Instructions

Refer to the following installation instructions:

  1. Consult the site plan and mark the locations for the four anchor bolts.

    2. Place the anchor bolt location marks accurately, especially in relation to each other. The cross-marks should precisely define the corners of a rectangle. Refer to Concrete Pad Mount.

  2. Drill four 19 mm (3/4 in) diameter holes to a minimum depth of 102 mm (4 in) at the marked locations.

    You may need two drill bits: one for the concrete (with the pilot) and another for the rebar (without the pilot). Always start the hole using the standard drill bit, and then switch to the rebar drill bit only if drilling through rebar.

  3. Remove all dust from inside the drilled holes using compressed air, a vacuum, or a brush.

  4. Fill each hole with epoxy to about 50 to 65 mm (2 to 2-1/2 in) below the top of the hole. Continue immediately to the next step because the epoxy sets quickly.

    Inserting the threaded bolts displaces the epoxy, causing it to fill the holes to the grade level. If the epoxy is below grade level after the next step, add more epoxy.

  5. Insert the bolts into the holes, leaving 38 mm (1.5 in) of each bolt exposed above concrete.

    6. Rotate the bolts as you insert them. This allows the epoxy to fully coat the threads of the bolts, reducing the amount of trapped air.

  6. Use a bubble level to ensure the bolts are plumb.

  7. Allow the epoxy to cure (depending on cure times recommended by the epoxy manufacturer).

  8. Install caps over the bolts.
