Installing Plate(s) - With BARRIER Ultra-R

vacuum insulation

If your box is equipped with BARRIER Ultra-R

vacuum insulation panels you must not drill or

screw through the interior fiberglass liner. To mount the holding plate it is therefore necessary to

devise another method of attachment. One method is to bond strips of wood (with fiberglass and

epoxy) to the inside of the box and screw into the wood rather than the fiberglass liner. The

disadvantage of this method is that the thickness of the wood causes the holding plate to

protrude further into the box space.

Plate Mounts

An alternative method is to construct

(or purchase from Glacier Bay),

holding plate mounting brackets.

These brackets are constructed by

countersinking flat-head stainless

steel screws into a 1/4" thick strip of

pultruded (or pressure-molded)

fiberglass sheet. By epoxying this

sheet to the fiberglass liner, the

plates can then be attached directly

to the screws extending from the

surface. Don’t forget to thoroughly sand the mounting brackets and the area on the liner where

they will be attached to promote good adhesion of the epoxy.

Leave the expansion valve capillary tube and sensing bulb neatly coiled until after the copper

tubing is run.
