6. Place the grille sections in position within the recess. Refer to the shop drawings for
the proper location of the sections. Mark the locations of lock-down holes in the
concrete pit.

Prepare Concrete for Anchors
Use a hammer drill with a 3/8” concrete bit. First, mark the bit at 5/8” with masking
tape so as not to drill too deep. Drill hole 5/8” deep. The anchor should bottom out
and still sit above the surface.
9.
Clear the hole of all debris
.
10.
Insert the anchor into the hole
.
Set the anchor into the clean hole, it should bottom out with a portion of the anchor
sitting above the surface. The setting tool will allow you to hammer the anchor into
the opening and set it on the wedge. The anchor will now sit flush with the surface for
ease of staring the screw.
11. Set the grille sections back into the recess and start threading all hold-down screws in
the embedded anchors. Adjust the grilles to create an even clearance around the
edges and tighten all screws. Do not over-tighten the screws. There should still be
some play in the hold-downs.
12. Save the installation and maintenance instructions and include them with the
closeout documentation for the owner and maintenance personnel.
