Vector Dynamics System

for Concrete Applications

Instructions

These instructions are an addendum to the standard Vector Dynamics instructions. Read and

follow all applicable instructions and guidelines in the Vector instructions and home installation

manual. The Vector system for concrete pads applies to concrete footers, runners and slabs.

Minimum size of concrete per Vector pier is 24” x 24” x 4” or 18” round (min) x 10” deep. The

bottom of footers must be below the frost line or a minimum of 4” below finished grade whichever

is greater. Concrete must be cured sufficiently to prevent spalling at anchors and allow proper

installation. Also refer to ACI-308 standards.

1. Determine location of pier sets where the Vector systems will be located.

2. Place one Vector concrete pad (galv. metal) on the concrete where the pier will be located, centered

under the I-beam of the home. Place the upturned edge towards the center of the home and directed

to the opposite Vector pier. Do the same for the opposite Vector pier.

3. Measure the distance between the two Vector system pads at the base where the Vector pad meets

the concrete. Cut two ground treated 2x4’s or Schedule 40 PVC pipe, or 1 adjustable steel

4. Place a long u-bolt under the 2x4’s and through the holes of the Vector pad as shown.

5. Place the concrete pier blocks on the Vector pad. Center the blocks under the frame. The upturned

edge end of the Vector pads should be up against the inside of the pier blocks.

6. Build vector piers but do not wedge at this time.
