NT8D64BF Floor Mounting Kit

The NT8D64BF Floor Mounting Kit provides the hardware required to secure a Large System column to concrete floors for non-seismic installations, that is, for a non-Bellcore or OSHPD approved installation.

The kit provides four sets of hardware, however, a minimum of two anchors must be used diagonally opposite to secure the column pedestal to the floor. The kit also provides four insulating washers that can be used during kit installation.

NT8D6401 Insulating Washer Kit

The NT8D6401 Insulating Washer Kit is used for attaching the Large System to the floor when the installer is using a third party anchor kit instead of the Nortel NT8D64BF Floor Mounting Kit.

In this case, one NT8D6401 Insulating Washer Kit is required for each pedestal to electrically insulate the mounting bolts from the pedestal casting. Each NT8D6401 Insulating Washer Kit provides four insulating washers.
