The FAAC 490113 Stainless Steel Load Bearing Box is a heavy-duty foundation/support box engineered for in-ground installation of S800H hydraulic gate operators. Crafted from premium stainless steel, the 490113 box serves as the structural core for bi-parting gate systems, allowing two single S800H operators to be mounted in master/slave configuration securely and reliably. With an anti-rotation pin and a satin stainless steel lid, this foundation box ensures that the operator remains stable under load, resists corrosion, and maintains alignment even in demanding outdoor conditions. Designed and manufactured by FAAC, this load bearing box enhances durability and uptime for dual gate door applications.
Manufactured by FAAC to match original specifications for fit, strength, and durability in S800H operator installations.
Stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion, ideal for outdoor, wet, or humid environments.
Anti-rotation pin ensures secure alignment and prevents twisting under load.
Designed for dual-gate (bi-parting) system use; enhances structural integrity and gate operator longevity.
Installation by qualified personnel; ensure correct anchoring and alignment to avoid mechanical stress or mis-operation.
Site prep: Excavate and pour a proper foundation footing as required for the S800H operator(s). Ensure foundation box sits level and is stable.
Install the 490113 box: Position the stainless steel load bearing box in the foundation area. Use the anti-rotation pin to align orientation. Ensure the box is flush with the finished surface (ground level or paving).
Mount operator(s): In bi-parting setups, mount two S800H operators into the two slots of the load bearing box, securing with required hardware. Confirm proper alignment of shafts, splined collars, etc.
Cover lid: Install the stainless steel lid (satin finish, if included) to protect internal operator mountings from the elements.
Sealing & drainage: Ensure proper drainage in foundation area so water does not accumulate in or around the box. Seal edges if needed, per FAAC’s guidelines, to maintain IP protection.
Final testing: After operators are mounted and connected, test full open/close cycles under load; confirm stability, no wobble, and no misalignment. Inspect after use to ensure the box remains firmly anchored and protected.
Choose stainless steel version (490113) over standard steel for locations with high corrosion risk (coastal, high moisture, de-icing salts).
Ensure foundation is concreted correctly; shifting ground or inadequate base will compromise box alignment.
Regularly inspect the box cover and lid for damage or corrosion; replace or repair protective seals if needed.
During installation, keep internal components clean—debris, dirt or stones inside the box can damage operator shafts or cause misalignment.
Use compatible hardware (FAAC recommended) to match torque specs and ensure secure mounting.
