Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Core drill, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Reducer cap, Conduit fittings

  1. Prepare the installation site

    Determine the location for the poke-through installation, ensuring it is at least 4-1/4” from any wall or pillar. Mark the position for a 6-1/2” diameter hole.

  2. Drill the hole

    Cut a 6-1/2” diameter section from the floor covering (carpet, wood, tile, or linoleum) and core drill a 3” diameter hole in the concrete beneath.

  3. Insert the base unit

    Insert the base unit into the drilled hole and push down until the screws in the temporary cover contact the concrete floor. Ensure the unit is not rotated after insertion.

  4. Install the cover

    Verify that the finished floor is cut to match the 6-1/2” diameter opening. Install the FFPT3 series cover according to the provided instructions, ensuring it is fully seated.

  5. Make electrical connections

    Connect a 1-1/4” or 2” trade size conduit fitting to the base unit. If using a 1-1/4” fitting, insert the reducer cap before attaching the fitting.
