Leveling and Grouting

The unit should be level in all directions. Wet the concrete pad according to the grout manufacturer’s directions. Mix a sufficient amount of grout. The grout must be an expanding grout rather than shrinking to provide a tighter bond. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for setting, precautions, mixing, and grout placement, finishing and curing. The grout must be worked under all areas of the feet with no bubbles or voids. If the grout is settled with a slight outside slope, oil and water can run off of the base. Once the grout has cured, torque the anchor bolts as per HILTI instructions.

Piping Connections

Piping Stress

Once the screw compressor package has been installed, properly grouted and anchored, it is imperative that the piping bolted to the screw compressor not impose excessive forces on the compressor. Suction and discharge lines should be supported so the lines will not move if disconnected from the compressor.
