8-2 Centralized Mail Receptacle Installation

You must consider many variables when installing centralized mailbox equipment. In addition to providing accessible locations, you must conduct proper foundation preparation and follow specific mounting procedures, to name a few requirements.

Appendices A through D of this guide provide sample diagrams of various CBU installations to help you understand space requirements, placement, etc.

Note: It is critical that you refer to the installation manuals furnished by each of the manufacturers for the specific USPS-approved centralized mailbox equipment purchased commercially.

For assistance with siting your outdoor centralized mail equipment, contact your local USPS Growth Manager so that the Postal Service can advise about the proper locations as you finalize plans for your new development.
