Water Saving Tank Frame Foundation for Pocket Hardmount Models (UWPV)

A proper frame foundation is absolutely necessary for all UWPV washer-extractors with WSS because of the water weight at elevated heights.

NOTE: Do not mount on wooden floors, above ground level, or over basements. Installation must be “slab on grade” or equal.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the tank frame is installed on a level floor of sufficient strength and that the recommended clearances for inspection and maintenance are provided. Never allow the inspection and maintenance space to be blocked.

The tank frame must be anchored to a smooth level surface so that all four legs are supported and rest on the mounting surface.

If the washer-extractor installation will include the WSS, the elevated base must be designed to accommodate the additional width of 4 inches on each side of the washer-extractor and correct alignment.

Static washer-extractor, tank and frame load on the floor or foundation is shown in Table 2.
