To ensure proper system operation, Eljen Corporation requires all of its GSF and Mantis Systems to be installed using an ASTM C33 sand with less than 10% passing a #100 sieve, and less than 5% passing a #200 sieve.

Reference the Eljen GSF or Mantis Design and Installation Manual for your state for the proper amount of specified sand required for installation.
