3. Installation 72' Full Floor Plank Layout Chart The following plank lengths start at the sidewall and work toward the center of the bin. Refer to grandstand support spacing on Page 22 for support spacing. 35'-7" from center of bin to edge of first plank.
3. Installation 75' Full Floor Plank Layout Chart The following plank lengths start at the sidewall and work toward the center of the bin. Refer to grandstand support spacing on Page 22 for support spacing. 37'-0.1/2" from center of bin to edge of first plank.
3. Installation 78' Full Floor Plank Layout Chart The following plank lengths start at the sidewall and work toward the center of the bin. Refer to grandstand support spacing on Page 22 for support spacing. 38' - 2-1/2" from center of bin to edge of first plank.
3. Installation 90' Full Floor Plank Layout Chart The following plank lengths start at the sidewall and work toward the center of the bin. Refer to grandstand support spacing on Page 22 for support spacing. 44'-7" from center of bin to edge of first plank.
3. Installation 105' Full Floor Plank Layout Chart The following plank lengths start at the sidewall and work toward the center of the bin. Refer to grandstand support spacing on Page 22 for support spacing. 51'-11" from center of bin to edge of first plank.
3. Installation Fan Placement Fans should be placed to provide the most uniform airflow and to minimize blockage of air flow by floor supports and unloading equipment. Consult with GSI for advice on specific cases. Figure 3A Grain Systems Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation This method should save floor construction time and eliminate problems of improper installation which could invalidate warranty. Dimension “A” is the leg-to-leg spacing along the centerline of a given plank.
3. Installation Grain Systems Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation (Continued) IMPORTANT: First piece of flooring must start the proper distance from centerline of bin. Refer to floor layout on Page 11 of correct bin diameter. First piece may have to be trimmed for proper distance. Figure 3B 5. Start at bin wall with shortest floor piece. Install support as per the spacing requirements of the grandstand support quantity chart on Pages 22-23.
3. Installation Installing the Undersplice The undersplice should be installed underneath the planks at the split after both plank lengths have been butted together. Each splice has to be laid as each row of planks are laid rather than after all have been placed. Figure 3C shows the layout of the undersplice plates and the screw pattern used to secure them.
3. Installation Installation Instructions 1. When a splice is needed, plank length A as described in the floor manual should be installed alongside plank length B. 2. The under-splice should then be installed under the split of plank A and B. The splice should extend 3" under each plank. The splice should be screwed in place as shown in Figure 3C on Page 18. 3. This process will be repeated for all plank locations requiring a splice.
3. Installation Flashing Installation Figure 3E Grain Systems Formed Flashing Installation If bin sweep auger is to be used, overlap flashing such that rotation (usually clockwise) of the sweep will climb up on the next flashing section. This will prevent the rotating/slipping outer wheel of the sweep from catching on the flashing edges. (See Figure 3E.) After the floor is in place, lay the flashing pieces on top of the floor place over the 1-1/4" bin bolts.
3. Installation Stiffener Flashing Support Instructions for Internal Stiffeners 1. Install the floor and support system, cutting the floor to go around the internal stiffeners as required. (See Figure 3G.) 2. Break the stiffener flashing support (SS-6984) into its three (3) components. 3. Lay the flashing supports on top of the flooring and weld the flashing supports to the stiffener as close as possible. Fasten the flashing to the wall, flashing support and floor, seal all spaces by welding or caulking.
