Please note the following recommendations:
Telect recommends that the cabinet be mounted with either the 6-in.-high base or optional 12-in.-high base (Models MDC-
R12) or a suitable vault, along with the isolation pad included with the cabinet. (See “Standard Accessories” Page 7-1.) If
the cabinet is mounted to a concrete pad without a pedestal or vault, the stub-up conduit for the cables must be positioned
accurately and must be either absolutely flush with or countersunk below the top of the pad.
For a cabinet with a Telect base, the stub-up conduit should not rise above a concrete pad more than about 3 in. (~75 mm)
for a 6-in.-high base and about 6 in. (~150 mm) for a 12-in.-high base. See the following illustration.
Telect recommends running cables in 4-in. stub-up conduit. Normally, two 4-in. conduits are necessary: one for the feeder
cable(s) and at least one for the distribution cable(s), as shown in the illustration that follows. Prefer to run feeder cable as
close as possible to the grounding bar — regardless if feeder is armored or unarmored.
Don’t forget to make room for growth. Add additional 4-in. conduit and cap off the end(s) at the edge of or beyond the pad.
Telect recommends anchors at all four corners. Upper end of anchor bolts must extend between 1¼ in. and 1½ in. above
top of pad, grating, or platform.
For outdoor deployment, Telect recommends that, in addition to the isolation pad provided with the cabinet, that the cus-
tomer plan for and provide a suitable water-tight gasket between the bottom of the cabinet and the pad. Use the preceding
illustration to mark and cut a rectangular hole for cable entrance.
