The finished walls must be plumb. If a side wall is in front of the 3M
™
Steri-Vac
™
Sterilizer/Aerator
GS Series, there must be a distance of 50.8 cm (20 in.) between such a wall and the 3M
™
In-Wall
Mounting Unit 1238 to allow for service access when the unit is rolled out of the access area.
Floor Preparation
The floor finish in the area housing the unit must be the same height (i.e. on the same plane) as the
work area in front of the unit for ease of movement for unit service and repair. The floor finish area
should be flat and level with dimensions of:
Width: 106.68 cm minimum (42 in.)
Depth: 106.68 cm minimum (42 in.)
The GS Series sterilizer must be available for fitting onto the unit at the time of installation since some
adjustments may be necessary when attaching the front panels.
Installing Permanent Floor Channels
Reference Figure 23.
Use of the template:
• A blueprint marked “TEMPLATE, Model 1238” is included with the 3M
™
In-Wall Mounting Unit
Model 1238.
• Lay the TEMPLATE in the access area with the front aligned with the front wall of the DOOR FRAME.
• If the TEMPLATE does not fit properly, check the DOOR FRAME width for uniformity, top-to bottom,
and shim as needed.
• Tape the TEMPLATE down, being careful to obtain as much surface contact of the TEMPLATE to the
floor as possible.
• Mark and drill at least four (4) holes per the FLOOR CHANNEL.
• Remove the TEMPLATE.
• Anchor the FLOOR CHANNELS to the floor using suitable concrete anchors. Do not over tighten the
bolts at this time, as it may be necessary to adjust the FLOOR CHANNELS later in the installation.
• Attach the STOP BRACKET as illustrated in Figure 24. Temporarily adjust the STOP BRACKET to its
farthest rear position. It will be readjusted later in the installation.
