The Conversion Frame Retrofit Plate Kit is required only in very specific situations where existing electrical conduits are locked in concrete just outside the UDC opening. In this case, in order for the UDSCCS (CONV-62000 Dispenser Conversion Frame) to be installed and function properly, holes must be cut or drilled in the conversion frame to accommodate the existing conduit lines and components such as E -Y adapters. Bravo ensures environmental compliance by providing a fiberglass plate kit that is permanently bonded onto the conversion frame panels to cover the holes/cuts and to also seal directly to the conduit lines using fiberglass epoxy. The installation of this Retrofit Plate kit maintains the design and function of the drainage panels by directing any leaks from within the hydraulic cabinet —especially any fluids that may run down or along conduit lines— and channeling them into the interior of the UDC below. Below is an image of a large dispenser and a small UDC. This is exactly the type of situation our conversion frame was designed to accommodate in 1991 but during this time conduit lines were traditionally installed into the sump below ground using a type of penetration fitting. In this case as you can see, the conduits were concreted in on both sides of the UDC. This is the problem. The conduits cannot be moved or offset so we must accommodate them where they exist. As you can see, they intersect the steel framing of the conversion frame, which is total -welded steel and is not modular in any way. So if there is a conduit line, explosion proof elbow or E -Y connector then these specific shapes must be cut out of the conversion frame so that it can be lowered over all existing components without interference. 3 ii-CONV-Retrofit-Plate-12B - 9/24/2012
