Note:  The illustration in Figure 1 shows structural steel with spacing for two (2) cooling towers. Your 
installation may vary. 
 
 
Dimension A – Centerline for fiberglass mounting feet provided with cooling tower.  This is so bolt holes 
can be made to secure the tower to the structural support. 
Dimension B & C – Location of basin support steel. 
Dimension D – Provides proper distance of 60” between cooling towers and distance between cooling 
tower and the wall of a building.
