The Model BAP-K Bin Aerator Pad Mounting Kit completely eliminates the need to enter the bin to install or service aerators. By cutting a 2-5/8” x 6-3/8” hole in the bin wall, the mounting kit can be completely installed and serviced from outside of the bin.

After the initial hole has been cut, the bin aerator pad can be mounted on the adapter assembly and inserted into the bin in less than two minutes. There are no other holes to drill, tapping or welding. The bin aerator pad is positively sealed and securely held in place in the bin. Removal is just as simple and quick.
