On multi cell towers, install PVC water redirector panels between each sump using self-tapping screws
provided (See sketch below). Start with screwing the PVC post from the bottom up. Next apply a heavy
bead of RTV sealant on the end of each redirector panel. Start screwing the redirector panels from the end
nearest the post toward the center. Do not screw overlapping panels to allow for expansion and contraction.

Secure tops of adjacent multi cell units together by bolting the two steel support angle brackets provided
to the lifting lugs of each cooling tower shell. The angle brackets should then be bolted together with
hardware provided.
Anchoring
The foundation must be flat, smooth and rigid enough to be capable of independent support of the cooling tower
assembly and water load in the sump at its maximum level. The tower assembly can also be mounted on I-beams
using the integrally molded I-beam pockets (See tower drawings).
Four hold-down anchor lugs are provided on the sump of each tower cell.
Support beams and anchor bolts are to be furnished by others.
Beams should be sized at least 7” wide and in accordance with acceptable structural practices. These beams
should be located in the integrally molded I-beam pockets, and should run the length of the unit.
Use anchor bolts sized for a minimum of 15,000 lbs. pull-out load per anchor lug for wind loading.
