Delta TM-105312, TM Series Cooling Tower manual Anchoring

•On multi cell towers, install PVC water redirector panels between each sump using self-tapping screws provided (See sketch below). Start with screwing the PVC post from the bottom up. Next apply a heavy bead of RTV sealant on the end of each redirector panel. Start screwing the redirector panels from the end nearest the post toward the center. Do not screw overlapping panels to allow for expansion and contraction.

•Secure tops of adjacent multi cell units together by bolting the two steel support angle brackets provided to the lifting lugs of each cooling tower shell. The angle brackets should then be bolted together with hardware provided.

Anchoring

The foundation must be flat, smooth and rigid enough to be capable of independent support of the cooling tower assembly and water load in the sump at its maximum level. The tower assembly can also be mounted on I-beams using the integrally molded I-beam pockets (See tower drawings).

•Four hold-down anchor lugs are provided on the sump of each tower cell.

•Support beams and anchor bolts are to be furnished by others.

•Beams should be sized at least 7” wide and in accordance with acceptable structural practices. These beams should be located in the integrally molded I-beam pockets, and should run the length of the unit.

•Use anchor bolts sized for a minimum of 15,000 lbs. pull-out load per anchor lug for wind loading.
