Shelters (HUC-3)

Hubbell Walk-In Shelters Assembly and Installation Guidelines

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

This Hubbell shelter has been manufactured in sections for ease of handling and shipment. While the number of sections depends on the model purchased, assembly remains the same. The sections bolt together with the included 1/2-13 x 1 1/2” long stainless steel bolts. Each seam must be sealed with silicone to protect against weather and water intrusion. Follow the steps below to assemble the shelter.

1. The shelter should be mounted on an equipment pad either pre-cast or cast in place. This will provide a solid foundation to support the shelter and the associated equipment inside. Pads are also available through Hubbell Enclosures.

2. Remove the shelter sections from the shipping crates. Check for damage and verify that the required hardware is included. Use proper care and sufficient personnel when moving the sections to avoid injury.

3. Stand the sections upright in the approximate location of the final assembly. If using a cast in place pad with anchor studs, place the section on the studs but DO NOT BOLT DOWN .

4. Working on 1 seam at a time, align the assembly holes using an alignment pin. Start with the first hole at the bottom of the assembly and then last hole at the top of the assembly. Both sections MUST BE SET- TING FLAT ON THE ON THE PAD. 5. Using ‘C’ clamps, clamp the flanges together in several places to prevent movement. Do not cover any of the assembly holes as the clamps should stay in place until the entire assembly is complete . 6. Install assembly bolts with a nut and washers in each hole but DO NOT TIGHTEN !

7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each seam in progression. ALL SECTIONS MUST SITTING FLAT ON THE PAD .

8. Starting at the top, tighten each bolt in one seam. Ensure each shelter section remains flat on the pad surface. Continue with each seam in progression.

9.

Remove the ‘C’ clamps.

10 . Using the proper equipment, lift the shelter from the top only and move it to its final position. Verify that the unit is setting flat on the pad surface and is ‘square’ by measuring from corner to corner in both directions.

11. Verify door operation before securing the enclosure to the pad.

12. Secure to the pad using the appropriate bolt down hardware for the pad being used. Large diameter washers are provided with the shelter hardware.
