1. Purpose

This is a visual guide to aid in the installation of the City Post anchor system. This document

covers the recommended installation procedure for installation.

2. Definitions/Tools

City Post Assembly: The complete City Post assembly includes:

• Post – the taped final assembly Anchor Cup – Aluminum molded anchor that will be

imbedded into the roadway

• Epoxy Shield – Clear sheet used to prevent epoxy from making contact with the post.

• Rubber Gasket - 0.20” rubber ring to seal the base and anchor cup

Core Drill: Any drill capable of accepting and centering a 2.1” minimum sized core bit.

Core Bit: Any masonry bit capable of creating cores a minimum of 2.1” in diameter.

Numerous Suppliers have bits: HILTI, Grainger and BOSCH, etc.

Epoxy/Adhesive: There are three adhesive systems that we have trialed with good results.

Please refer to the table below: all times are for a nominal 86

F; higher temps will result in faster

times, lower temps will take longer to cure. 7 floz or 200 ml of epoxy for estimating for one

install.

This is the creation of a depth gauge to speed your process along in the field. There are several ways to mark the depth, this is one simple and effective way. Please refer to the table below to determine your fill depth of epoxy. Core Diameter SFD* – from top with gasket 2.1” 1.85” 2.25” 1.61” 2.5” 1.30” 2.75” 1.07” 3.0” 0.90” 3.5” 0.

4. Coring your Holes Guidance – the suggested core depth is 3”. The hole will leave a jagged bottom when the core is broken off. The extra ½” of depth ensures that the minimum depth of 2.5” is achieved. Check Fit – Insert the assembled City Post into a dry hole, does it sit level, if not remove more material and recheck. Clean – Holes must be free of debris and dust, blow them out with an air hose. Dry – if using a wet bit core drill, ensure the holes are completely dry before applying epoxy 5.

Slowly, insert the anchor cup into the adhesive filled hole and twist one full turn. Rotating the post spreads the epoxy evenly around the anchor cup. This is critical to get a good even distribution of epoxy. Once final depth has been reached, no adhesive should be visible around the base. Allow the anchor and epoxy to set up, refer to your manufacturer’s directions for cure time. Once the epoxy is fully cured you can remove the City Post from the anchor cup.
