Installing Kit B

1Locate the two mounting plates for each column over the anchor holes. Insert the anchors into the holes and tap the anchors into place with a mallet.

2Level the plates with shims. Leave the stack of shims exposed until all leveling has been completed (this will allow the addition or removal of shims if necessary).

3If the installation must meet CALIFORNIA OSHPD, tension proof load testing is required on 50% of the anchor bolts. These anchors must be tested to 6230 N (1400 lb) tension and 122 J (90 ft-lb) torque. Any failure requires testing of all remaining anchors.

4Go to “Installing earthquake rods” on page 351.
