5.Assembling BASE-RAY®

BASE-RAY is shipped assembled in lengths up to six (6) lineal feet – longer assemblies are shipped in two or more sub-assemblies for assembly on the job (see BASE-RAY Assembly chart, page 4). One man can join tow sub- assemblies together in a matter of minutes providing he has a BASE-RAYAssembly Clamp (available at a nominal charge) and follows the recommended procedure.

In assembling BASE-RAY sub-assemblies on the job, the sections should be lined up, face down, on the Àoor or other Àat surface near the wall on which they are to be installed. Ends of section, nipple ports and nipples should be thoroughly cleaned with kerosene or gasoline and wiped dry with a clean cloth.

Place a thin coating of nipple lubricant on nipples and insert into the nipple ports of one assembly without cocking. Engage nipples in nipple ports of second assembly and push sections together by hand as far as possible keeping ends of sections parallel.

In order to secure necessary leverage with BASE-RAY Clamp, cut two pieces of 1¼” steel pipe 15” long and place them on the two cam handles.

Insert BASE-RAY Clamp nose in the recesses in the BASE-RAY castings, being certain that the nose of the clamp is resting on the bottom of the recess – THIS IS IMPORTANT. If the clamp nose will not reach the bottom of the recess, exert light pressure downward on the cam handles until the two castings are PARTIALLY drawn together. Release the pressure on the handles and the clamp nose will then drop to the bottom of the recess.

Press down on both cam handles simultaneously until castings are drawn together. Be sure clamp is not tilted, since this may break casting. If nipples do not draw up evenly during ¿nal tightening, strike end of assembly with wood block and hammer or mallet to bring the sections back in line. Do not strike BASE-RAY sections with metal hammer.

Remove the clamp, place the tie bolts in the bolt slots and tighten securely.

6.Installation of BASE-RAY®Assemblies

Install all ¿ttings in end of sections and all necessary vents while assemblies are still laying Àat on Àoor. Install bottom center supports prior to raising assemblies to upright position. Refer to table for number of supports required. They should be spaced evenly.

Length Assembly

Number of Top and Bottom

Center Supports Required

 

1½ to 14½ Lineal Feet

1

15 to 21½ Lineal Feet

2

22 to 28½ Lineal Feet

3

Install the spring clip Bottom Center support by pushing it all the way up against the bottom of two ¿ns and next to the waterway of the section as illustrated below. Run the ¼” cap screw into the clip until head is not more than ¾” from the clip.
