3 MOUNTING THE CABINET ON A FIBERGLASS MOUNTING SLEEVE

The FMS-20000, shown in Figure 3, is a fiberglass and polymer concrete sleeve that may be used to support the cabinet at ground level. The FMS may also be used as a splicing vault. Four vertical racks are molded into the sides of the FMS to accommodate removable rungs (not provided). The rungs provide support for splice cases or OSP cable storage.

3.1Installation Recommendations

The site chosen for the installation must conform to all local codes and any permits required must be obtained prior to the start of installation. The location must be accessible and provide adequate parking for worker and vehicle safety.

The installed cabinet must not create a visual or physical obstruction to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Ensure that there is sufficient space on all sides to facilitate cabinet installation. Depending on the landscaping requirements, the top surface of the mounting sleeve may be located from 0 to 4 inches (10.2 cm) above the surrounding grade.
