R

The key to a successful and trouble-free installation is the selection of appropriate mounting hardware. Versa-Gard offers the most comprehensive array of mounting hardware for food protection systems. Our hardware is designed to accommodate any field condition and/or any mounting surface and gives the advantage of complete flexibility on-site before, during and after installation. No matter what size, shape or method of fastening is required, the Versa-Gard mounting hardware will allow for quick and immediate change-out and/or replacement if necessary. MOUNTING HARDWARE SELECTION IS CRITICAL FOR SEVERAL REASONS:

1) Strength – proper hardware and proper mounting adds to the strength and stability of the overall food protector. It is imperative that the hardware is securely fastened to the mounting surface with the proper fasteners.

2) Durability – loose-fitting hardware allows for vibration and movement, which will loosen fasteners and cause threads to wear over time.

3) Structural Integrity – the ability to support weight is critical with extended-spans, top shelves, thicker glass, etc. Inappropriate mounting hardware may cause a food protector to collapse or fail.

4) Efficient Operation – loose hardware and/or improper mounting can impair the smooth operation of units with adjustable and/or moveable panels. Improper mounting may cause adjustable hardware to jam, and in some cases, glass breakage.

BEFORE SELECTING HARDWARE, ASK THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1 Is there sufficient access below the counter for the installer to reach each support location? 2 Is there sufficient space around each support location to place a below-counter mounting plate, washer, or flange? 3 Does the counter have sufficient blocking below to:

� Accommodate the weight of the food protector? � Impede the deflection and bending of the surface, such as with stainless steel?

4 Are there electrical components that require wire feeds? SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

WIRING CONCEALMENT: When installing a light fixture or food warmer in a food protector, at least one support will be required to act as a conduit for the wiring to feed from the food protector to the inside base of the cabinet. In some instances, depending on the quantity of lights and/or warmers, two or more supports are required to conceal the wiring. The location of the supports, depending on the countertop surface material, is critical.

AVAILABLE SPACE FOR MOUNTING: When mounting to a solid surface material, marble, granite or tile, special consideration must be given to the location of holes in the substrate. Please follow the manufacturer’s fabrication guidelines for the specific material and allow for the proper clearances and spacing between holes and edges. In many instances, there is only a small clearance between the equipment being protected (drop-in pans and the like) and the front or side edges of the countertop. Under-counter blocking and surface material are critical factors and special consideration must be give to the type of hardware to be used. STAINLESS STEEL COUNTERTOPS: Most stainless steel counters require blocking below the surface to support the weight of equipment above. It is not unusual for the food protectors to flex and bend when appropriate blocking is not provided below the counter. Food protectors with a rear leg support or a table-shaped (4-legged) structure are self-supporting and do not require under-counter blocking.

MOUNTING STYLES: Surface-Mount

Fastener head is visible No requirements for under-counter access Best when mounting to existing equipment / surfaces

Concealed-Mount No visible fasteners at counter surface Access required below the counter surface Soffit / Ceiling / Wall Mount

These applications typically require additional blocking and/or reinforcement. Please consult the factory for special application requirements.

ALL FASTENERS SUPPLIED WITH VERSA-GARD PRODUCTS ARE STAINLESS STEEL, GRADES 316, 18-8, OR 410
