Product Overview
The 6404 is the 3" version of Gared's volleyball floor sleeve line. Built from heavy-gage steel, it supports the upright in an indoor facility while still letting crews pull the posts and clear the floor between events. Gared specifies it for 3" [76 mm] diameter posts used on its 5000, 5100 and 5300 series systems.
Construction is heavy wall steel tubing with a powder coat finish, with a 9" [229 mm] sleeve depth for floating and non-floating synthetic floors. The sleeve is set at a 3 degree angle to compensate for post clearance inside the sleeve and for post deflection when the net is tensioned. It is designed for a post depth of 11" [279 mm] below the finished floor with most floor types and is set in non-shrink grout supplied by others, with a typical grout depth of 1'-8" [508 mm] shown on the drawing.
A vinyl cap protects the sleeve opening, and a floor sleeve cover is required but ordered separately from the 6422-6433 range. The 6401 Second Story Floor Sleeve Adapter is available as an accessory, and custom length sleeves can be ordered under PN 604655323. The 6404 is made in the US and ships by UPS at 6 lbs.
