The UltraLite Equipment Pads are composed of Type I expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) having a nominal 1-pound-per-cubic-foot (16 kg/cu-m) density. The pads are molded in a form in which a cement slurry and polypropylene ber mat are bonded to five sides of the EPS foam. The pad is offered in both a 2 in (51 mm) or 3 in (76 mm) THK. The composite coating is approximately 7/32 in (5.6 mm) to 1/4 in (6.4 mm) THK on the pad surface. The products are available in various sizes as indicated in Package Metrics. |
Applications: Use to Support Air-Conditioning Compressor and Condensing Units |
1230 lb allowable load capacity |
Lightweight - At an average weight of 2-1/2 pounds per square foot (12 kg per square meter) |
The UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is one of the lightest equipment mounting products available today, lightweight products are important for ease of handling |
Durable - The exterior of the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is specifically engineered for long term exterior weather resistance |
Ductile - The skin and core of the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is specifically engineered for flexibility and ductility demanded of job site handling, additionally, the ductility of the outer skin facilitates conformance to slight ground contours |
Time/labor savings - Time is money, and hence any time savings on site translates into money saved time/labor savings time is money, and hence any time savings on site translates into money saved |
The UltraLite lightweight concrete pad literally installs in seconds while providing a solid foundation for the condensing unit |
Concrete surface the concrete external skin of the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is not subject to ultraviolet degradation or weathering discoloration |
Vibration absorbing - The engineered polystyrene core to the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad absorbs and dampens vibration associated with normal operation of a condensing unit |
Freeze/thaw resistant - The UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is vapor permeable |
Water vapor evaporates through the pad, hence the concrete outer skin is not subject to expansion cracks |
Flame resistant - The concrete outer skin of the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is resistant to heating caused by the compressor |
Additionally, the surface is resistant to heat from incidental torch flame during site installation |
Outside storage: the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is intended for life in the outdoors, as such, the pad is suitable for exterior storage prior to site installation |
