Use Floor-Fast to secure steel, aluminum, fiberglass or bronze floor/checker plate to the supporting steel or aluminum framework without field welding, drilling or tapping holes. Secure Floor-Fast to the bottom of the plate, position the plate in the floor opening and with a simple rotation of the socket head cap screw bolt, secure the plate. Simply reverse the installation process to remove the floor plate. No other system is faster to install.
Step 1
Layout, drill and counter-sink the holes in the floor plate. (Figure 1)
Step 2
Prior to installation, attach the Floor-Fast clamps to the floor/checker plate, positioning the clamp’s straight edge parallel to the edge of the plate (Figure 2). NOTE: The stepped surface of the FloorFast clamp faces toward the underside of the floor plate.
Step 3
Position the floor plate on the supporting framework.
Step 4
Using a hex wrench, release the socket head cap screw bolt one full turn (Figure 3).
Step 5
Tighten down on the bolt. As it tightens, the stepped surface automatically locks under the framework flange (Figure 4).
Step 6
Repeat the operation for each Floor-Fast clamp. Holes in floor plate should be 9/16” diameter, counter-sunk to accept the standard 1/2” counter-sunk flat socket cap screw bolt. Measure the positioning of the center of the hole drilled in the plate according to Figure 1.
