5.1.2 Use concrete only for the foundation pad. Do not use substitute materials, such as
reinforced plastics, since they lack the rigidity required for cabinet placement.
5.1.3 The ideal pad dimension extends two feet beyond the open radius of all doors.
5.1.4 The minimum recommended pad size is two feet (60.96 cm) beyond the perimeter
of the cabinet.
•
Recommended pad dimensions: 52.00" x TBD" (132.08 cm x 138.43 cm).
5.1.5 The overall dimensions of the pad template is: 28.00" x 16.00" (71.12 cm x 40.64
cm).
5.1.6 Use a minimum of six inches (15.24 cm) of sand or gravel as a base for the
foundation pad. This will level the location to accept the pad.
Refer to Fig. 11 for the arrangement and size of the reinforcing mesh and the
template in the form prior to pouring concrete.
Use a high-early strength concrete mix so the cabinet may be placed three days
following concrete pouring. Coarse aggregate used in the concrete shall be graded
from
