Setting Up and Installing Mounting Plates
Setting Up Mounting Plates
It’s a good idea to get all your mounting plates set up with KwikLink connector bases or ArmorBlock cable bases before installation, as your system layout determines.
Note: ArmorBlock cable bases are installed on mounting plates perpendicular in orientation to the flat cable runs.
Vacuum hoppers/receiver stations require
Make sure that each mounting plate has properly attached tube clamps as required. Each mounting plate requires two (2) tube clamps. Always use locking washers, especially in

Installing Assembled Mounting Plates
After you’ve set up the mounting plates:
1.Install them at each node location by clipping the tubing clamps onto the vacuum tube, just before the node area (such as a
2.Orient the mounting plate parallel with the flat cables and at a 30º to 45º angle so the KwikLink connector or ArmorBlock faces the operator on the floor; torque the tubing clamp fasteners until tight.
The flat cable will be installed inside KwikLink connectors and ArmorBlocks as described in the following sections of this chapter.
