Description

Overview
UltraLite® is strengthened by miles of fiber in each square foot of fiber-cement coating. This fiber allows the pad to flex instead of cracking or breaking. The textured surface prevents the condensing unit or portable generator from sliding, and allows water drainage, while the engineered encapsulated polystyrene (EPS) core prevents warping and provides a solid bottom to resist settling. The pad is unaffected by soil conditions, ultraviolet (UV) light, temperature extremes, and other weather conditions.
Features
LOADING
To achieve the maximum permissible pad load capacity, the earth under the pad must be capable of supporting the transmitted compression load of the UltraLite pad. All values tabulated assume the earth has a bearing capacity of at least 1000 pounds per square foot (48 kPa).
The allowable loads assume a uniformly distributed loading on the pad surface (that is, a relatively flat-bottomed condenser unit in contact with the pad). For condenser units with footpads or other point loads, the maximum concentrated load for any size UltraLite pad is 125 pounds per 2" (56 kg per 50 mm) diameter (or equivalent surface area) footpad.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
In normal usage conditions an equipment pad can be exposed to a variety of chemicals. The UltraLite pad has been fully tested in accordance with ASTM D2299 for resistance against:
FREEZE/THAW TESTING
The UltraLite pad has been independently tested to the rigorous freeze-thaw regimen specified by ASTM C67. This standard dictates a twenty-five cycle freeze-thaw sequence. The freeze portion of the sequence takes place with the top surface of the UltraLite pad under 1/2" (12 mm) of water. Once twenty-five cycles are complete, the pad is examined using visual magnification. No cracks or crazing is permitted. UltraLite has performed flawlessly.

Features
- Lightweight - At an average weight of 2-1/2 pounds per square foot (12 kg. per square metre), the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is one of the lightest equipment mounting products available today. Lightweight products are important for ease of handling on job sites.
- Durable - The exterior of the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is specifically engineered for long-term exterior weather resistance.
- Ductile - The skin and core of the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is specifically engineered for flexibility and ductility demanded of job site handling. Additionally, the ductility of the outer skin facilitates conformance to slight ground contours without fracture.
- Time/Labor Savings - Time is money, and hence any time savings on site translates into money saved. The UltraLite lightweight concrete pad literally installs in seconds while providing a solid foundation for the condensing unit.
- Concrete Surface - The concrete external skin of the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is not subject to ultraviolet degradation or weathering discoloration.
- Vibration Absorbing - The engineered polystyrene core in the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad absorbs and dampens vibration associated with normal operation of a condensing unit.
- Freeze/Thaw Resistant - The UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is vapor permeable. Water vapor evaporates through the pad, hence the concrete outer skin is not subject to expansion cracks.
- Flame Resistant - The concrete outer skin of the UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is resistant to heating caused by the compressor. Additionally, the surface is resistant to heat from incidental torch flame during site installation.
- Outside Storage - The UltraLite lightweight concrete pad is intended for life in the outdoors. As such, the pad is suitable for exterior storage prior to site installation.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
In normal usage conditions an equipment pad can be exposed to a variety of chemicals. The UltraLite pad has been fully tested in accordance with ASTM D2299 for resistance against:
- R-22 and R-134a
- Compressor oil
- Salt solution, 20 percent by volume
- Synthetic canine urine

Most Liked Positive Review
I would recommend this product and I would buy again!
First off, the buying experience and shipping were awesome. I had a 24x36x2 concrete pad underneath my pool and waterfall pumps that had cracked and needed to be replaced. After searching locally and not finding anything, I opted for this pad. The shipping was fast (and inexpensive) and I was a bit skeptical when I felt how light it was. I removed my pool pumps, removed the old pad and installed the new one - I had no space to spare, and it fit perfectly after I dug out the area, put down a weed barrier, and put down 2 layers of gravel/paver sand to get a good base. I put 3/16" neoprene under the pumps just to reduce vibration and it worked great. We'll see have it stands up to the Arizona summer heat...more to follow.

Poor quality
Except for the outer 2" ? of the pad and a thin top coating, it is Styrofoam. You cannot bolt down the condenser / outside unit to the pad. It will pull right through. Besides that the top / flat portion where condenser mounts, it was not flat. It had two mounds that luckily were not under the feet of condenser, but wait!...... It was also twisted. Impossible to level unit without using shims under vibration pads or feet of condenser.

Was able to find an outdoor slab in the size I wanted to meet my needs. It was delivered in two days at regular freight price to meet my contractors schedule. What else can you ask for?

Just perfect
Just what I need for my new pool pump and filter a lot easier than pouring a 3" thick pad.

Love the cement look, and the light weight made it easy!
This product works perfectly, is very light weight (I have back issues and appreciate that a lot!), and looks great. The only thing keeping it from being a five-star rating is that it's somewhat fragile, and arrived with some of the cement chipped off a small part of an edge, exposing the core material. It was a very small spot, and not at all worth returning it for. A little caulk fixed it. (This may have been avoided if packed a bit more snugly?)

Product Q&A
1 Question1 Question
Q: can this pad be anchored to and existing concrete slab, or does it have to just lay on top of slab with out being anchored down?

I've had two of my mini-split heat pumps leveled on pressure treated wood which sits on blacktop. They're fastened to the wood but nothing is fastened to the pavement. My guess is that a pad can sit on pavement unattached provide they not likely to be disturbed. Seems to work okay for over a year now but I considered fastening them to the pavement with some anchor bolts in case they bumped into hard enough to threaten the line attachments. I also have one on a pad resting on bare ground. No problems so far.

You could anchor it to an existing concrete slab, but it's not worth the effort, IMO. I'd say just lay it on top.

Before I answer the question I would like you to know that pads provide flat and level surface to mount condensing units over soil. It sounds like you want to mount your unit over concrete slab, so you already have a flat level surface – sounds like you don’t need a pad at all. To answer your question, yes you should anchor the pad to the slab, otherwise it will move due to vibration and put strain on the refrigerant lines – last thing you want to happen. PS, I am not a licensed refrigeration professional, I gave my opinion based on experience and common sense.

You don't have to anchor it down, just lay it as is. Sent from my iPhone

This is an awesome product but we did not use it in the way you suggest. We placed crushed limestone on the ground and anchored a whole house generator to the pad. Our airconditioning unit is also secured in that way. We are in tornado alley and had an EF 5 hit within 300 yards and everything remained anchored. That said, I think you could drill thru the pad and anchor directly to the slab with concrete anchor bolts. Don't have experience using it that way, but I think this should work. Hope that helps>

I think that a good construction should do the trick. Keep in mind that this should also be “level” when you.re doing it
