Check with your local building inspector to determine in which wind-borne debris region your equipment will be installed.

Choose a pad size that is larger than the outside dimensions of the equipment AND leaves room for fasteners, which must be located on the top of the pad at least 1/2” away from the edges. 3. Place and level the pad on the ground.	4. Place the equipment on the pad. Refer to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions to determine where the fasteners should be placed through the equipment for anchoring to a pad. 5. Do NOT use a nail gun to attach equipment to the pad. 6. Read the instructions provided with your preferred brand of 1/4” diameter x 1-1/4” long masonry screws. If the flange/metal through which you are attaching the unit to the pad is thicker than 1/4”, then a longer fastener will be required. Screw penetration must be a minimum of 1” into the pad. 7. Pre-drill a 3/16” diameter hole at least 1-1/4” deep in the top of the pad at each fastener location. Remember that the holes must be at least 1/2” away from the edges of the pad. 8. Use a wrench or screwdriver to drive the masonry screws into place.
