BRICK INSTALLATION:
If Postal Vault ® is going to be bricked or stoned, make foundation large enough
to accommodate the size and weight of brickwork. Additionally, Postal
Vault ® should be TOTALLY LEVEL, NOT angled backward for water run-off.
If you would like your Postal Vault ® bricked or stoned, call your local
masonry company.
How do I mount it to a post?
Preferred Installation Methods For Mounting The PV101 Series To A Post Or A
Steel Pedestal Kit
There are two preferred methods:
(1) Mounting to a 4"x4" Wood Post or Existing Post
If you are mounting to a new 4"x4", begin with a quality
landscape timber and cement it into the ground making sure it is level.
The surface you will be mounting to must have a level and square to
guarantee a level box mount. Place box on post and mark for the 2 lag
bolts. Predrill the holes with a 3/16" drill bit. Then set box
on the post and tighten into place.
(2) Adjoining Post to Pedestal Kit (PU 101 Series Only)
The post assembly consist of (4) bolts and (4) nuts and post. The
Postal Vault ® has a factory installed support plate inside the mail
storage area. You can see the plate by looking into the bottom of the
mail storage area. Rest the Postal Vault ® on the post and line up predrilled
holes. Drop bolts down through the inside plate and tighten bolts down
from the bottom of the post plate. Pedestal Kit only comes in Stainless
Steel
How far above the ground does the PV need to be when cementing it in?
Customers are required to contact their local post office before installing
the mailbox to insure correct placement and height at the street. Generally,
mailboxes are installed at height of 41-45 inches from the ground to
the inside of the mailbox or point of mail entry and are set back 6-8
inches from front face of curb or road edge to the mailbox.
How far away from the curb should I install it?
Postal regulations require all mailboxes to be installed 6 inches away from
the curb.
