INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the recommended procedures for installation, operation, maintenance and
safety precautions for Orbinox CC model channel gates. Please read thoroughly all the instructions
in the manual prior to installation, and contact an Orbinox representative in case of any questions.
The manual makes reference to the “General Arrangement Drawing” (GAD). The GAD is the draw-
ing that is sent to and approved by the customer prior to the production of the gate. Orbinox as-

HANDLING AND STORAGE
Standard safety procedures should be followed to prevent personal injury or equipment damage.
Additionally, the following instructions shall be followed during handling and storage to prevent any
damage to the product:
•
Stems have precision surfaces and should never be used as a means to lift the slide gate.
•
Special care shall be taken on any machined surface when lifting the gate.
•
Equipment shall be stored in a dry, clean and even area on a raised even wood surface
to prevent distortion of the frame. Do not stack slide gates.
•
Stems and extensions that are shipped separately shall be supported over their entire
length to prevent any bending or distortion while in storage.

Required Materials:
As a standard, Orbinox CC Channel Gates are mounted Embedded In Concrete (EC). Field adjust-
ment hex bolts are required to center the gate in the appropriate recess prior to embedding in con-
crete. For detailed information about the type, size and quantity of the required bolts, or any other
specific installation notes or materials, please refer to the notes on the “General Arrangement Draw-
ing”.

•
The concrete construction shall be flat, level and plumb, and shall be in accordance to ACI 117-
06 standard. If necessary, use non-shrink grout in order to meet the specified standard. The
minimum concrete strength shall be 3,000 PSI ( 0.7 MPa).
Step : Align the channel gate in the wall recess
Step : Align the channel gate in the wall recessStep : Align the channel gate in the wall recess
Step : Align the channel gate in the wall recess
•
Position and center the channel gate in the recess of the wall, using the field adjustment bolts
screwed in the “Side Centering Fittings” and “Bottom Leveling Brackets” (see Figure 1). Make
sure that the channel gate is centered in the channel.
NOTE: the smaller CC Channel Gates do not come with “Bottom Leveling Brackets”. If this is the
case, follow Step B (page 6) prior to starting with “Step ” in order to be able to align the gate
vertically.
•
Align the gate vertically adjusting the bolts on the “Bottom Leveling Brackets” (see Figure ).
Make sure that the frame invert is flush with the invert of the channel.
•
Align the gate horizontally adjusting the bolts on the “Lateral Centering Fittings” (see Figure 3).
Make sure that the Frame Guide is flush with the channel side wall. Additionally, make sure that
the gate is perpendicular to the side walls of the channel.
Step 3: Embed the channel gate in the wall recess

Smaller CC Channel Gates do not come with “Bottom Balancing Brackets”. Therefore, the following
procedure shall be followed to align the gate vertically (After “Step 1”).
•
Get two pieces of wood or metal (“Supports”).

•
Rise the slide enough to fit
the two supports and secure
the supports by closing the
slide (See Figure 4).
•
Proceed with “Step ”. When
the gate is positioned in the
recess, the supports will
maintain the frame invert
flush with the invert of the
channel (See Figure 5).
CAUTION: Do not use pieces of
wood or metal with sharp edges
or with a bad surface condition
in order to avoid any damage to
the bottom seal.

Required Materials:
For the Face Mounted In Existing Channel (FM) mounting option, the CC channel gate is installed by
means of mechanical anchor bolts (Hilti Kwilt 3 or equivalent). All the gaps shall be grout filled after-
wards and shaped in order to get a smooth transition.
For detailed information about the type, size and quantity of the required anchor bolts or any other
specific installation notes or materials, please refer to the notes on the “General Arrangement Draw-
ing”.

•
Position the channel gate in the existing channel. Make sure that the gate is perfectly aligned and
centered in the channel (see Figure 6).
•
Install the bottom anchor bolts, and then the lateral anchor bolts (see Figure 8). All Face
Mounted Channel Gates incorporate bottom and lateral mounting brackets. For smaller sizes
(typically under 60”), the channel gate includes lateral flexible brackets (as seen in Figure 8) that
require no field adjustment. For bigger sizes (typically over 64”), the channel gate includes “Field
Adjustment Brackets”. In order to adjust the bracket, the following steps shall be followed (see
Figure 7):
•
Untighten nut
•
Adjust the bracket until it is completely leaning against the wall
•
Tight the nut
•
Install the anchor bolt

•
Grout fill the remaining voids (See Figure 8), both at the bottom (See Figure 9) and laterals of
the gate (See Figure 10). Remember that the objective of the grout fill is twofold:
•
Fill the voids between the frame, frame invert and the channel.
•
Make a smooth transition for water flow. Therefore, the grout shall be built-up to the
level of the frame as shown in Figures 9 and 10.
CAUTION! Make sure not to get grout or any other foreign material on the gate’s seals, guides or
stem as this may cause leakage or damage.
