2. Safety
Proper Storage of Grain Bin/Silo Materials Prior to Construction
Wet storage stain (rust) will develop when closely packed bundles of galvanized material, such as sidewall and roof sheets, have moisture present. Inspect roof and sidewall bundles on arrival for any moisture. If moisture is present, it must not be allowed to remain between the she ets. Separate the sheets or panels immediately and wipe them down. Spray with a light oil or diesel fuel.
If possible, sidewall bundles, roof sheets and other closely packed galvanized materials should be stored in a dry, climate controlled building. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, the materials should be stored so that they are raised above the ground and vegetation. Any stacking an d spacing mat erials sho uld not be corrosive or wet. Be sure to protect materials from the weather, but permit air movement around the bundles if possible.
Storing roof bundles and sidewall sheets at a slight incline can also help minimize the presence of moisture. Storing the bundles with the center of the dome up (like an arch) is one option for minimizing moisture during storage. Sidewall bundles can also be stored on edge but must be secured so that they do not fall over and cause injury.
If “white rust” or “wet storage stain” occurs, contact the manufacturer imme diately about ways to minimize the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.

3. Decals

Excessive vacuum (or pressure) may damage roof. Use positive aeration system. Make sure all roof vents are open and unobstructed. Start roof fans when supply fans are started. Do not operate when conditions exist that may cause roof vent icing.
DC-969
CAUTION!
The manufacturer does not warrant any roof damage caused by excessive vacuum or internal pressure from fans or other air moving systems. Adequate ventilation and/or “makeup air” devices should be provided for all powered air handling systems. The manufacturer does n ot recommend the use of downward flow systems (suction). Severe roof damage can result fro m any blockage of air passages. Running fans during high humidity/cold weather conditions can cause air exhaust or intake ports to freeze.

4. Storage and Drying Bins

FCDL Bins
Drying bins up to 7 rings are designed for general drying and storage of small grains. Bins 8 rings and taller are warranted for storage/aeration only - not drying. FCDL drying bins may be used with drying equipment and most multi-screw stirring devices. In FCDL Bins with a standard walk-through door, the door will be located in the second ring and top half of the bottom ring. FCDL bins are st andardly punched for 12" plenum and stiffened to the eave. FCDL drying bins include the following: base angle, sidewall sheets, door decal sheet, outside stiffeners, sidewall hardware with caulk, 30° roof, roof steps and one manhole. For larger stirring devices or re-circulation units, consult with the engineering department.
Figure 4A
4. Storage and Drying Bins
WARNING
Stirring devices may create additional loads on grain bin sidewalls, roofs and floors. If high-moisture grain is loaded too deep and too fast, bin walls can become overloaded. Observe the following installation and operation procedures if the bin is to be equipped with a stirring device.
Bins with Stirring Devices
Selecting the Appropriate “Series” Grain Bin
Grain storage tanks are offered in more than one structural series for specific uses. To maintain the warranty, the appropriate “series” grain bin must be used. Consult the sales catalog or contact the engineering department for current recommendations. Note that the use of any stirring device with three (3) or more vertical screws may require a heavier than “standard” series bin. Any re-circulating device or systems should be used in the “re-circulating” series bins. Re-circulating devices include products such as the grain flow, foreway, shivers units or similar devices.
General Instructions for Stirring Devices
Bins are offered in more than one structural series for specific uses. In order to maintain warranty, the appropriate “series” grain bin must be used. Consult the sales catalog or contact the engineering department for current recommendations. Especially note that use of any stirring device with three (3) or more vertical screws may require a heavier than “standard” series bin. Any re-circulating device or system should be used in the “re-circulating” series bins.
NOTE: Additional loads on grain bin sidewalls, roofs and floors can be created by stirring devices. If
high-moisture grain is loaded too deep and too fast, any unstiffened bin wall can be overloaded. Observe the following installation and operation procedures if the bin is to be equipped with the stirring device.
1. Read the Owner’s manual for the stirring device and follow all instructions set forth by the manufacture r.
IMPORTANT: Install the switch for t he stirring device near the roof manway opening so that the unit
can be observed while stirring.
2. Make sure there are no obstructions, such as protruding ladders.
3. After loading approximately three feet (3') of grain, run the unit for one complete revolution to determine if it is working properly.
4. If the unit is functioning properly, operate the stirring device continuously while filling and drying to avoid compacted grain around the vertical screws.
5. If it becomes necessary to stop the stirring device using laterally moving screws, try to stop it with the vertical screws nearest to the center of the bin, away from the sidewall. Should a device stop or stall for any reason and remain inoperable for any length of time, the auger carriage should be supported to the grain surface before restarting. The vertical auger should be turned by hand, with a pipe wrench, before the power is applied.
6. For best results, fill the bin to one-half of the final intended depth. Dry grain to 16% and continue filling. Use filling rates specified by stirring device manufacturer. If necessary to fill to the top without stopping, reduce the filling rate and drying air temperature so that the stirring rate can kee p up with the drying rate.
7. Do not overfill bin. Filling should be stopped at the bottom of the top ring or 30" below the track.
8. The preceding steps are only general instructions which apply to the majority of stirring devices. Since there are different manufacturers of these devices, it is important to read the Operator’s manual thoroughly for specific instructions applicable to the machine.

5. Foundations

Foundation Recommendations
These are general foundation recommendations. Site conditions, system requirements and other factors may create foundation construction requirements not covered by this manual.
Selecting the Proper Site Location
1. The selected site should be level, firm and free from underlying debris. The soil bearing capacity should be equal to or greater than required by the footing specifications.
2. The concrete foundation surface must be level. If fill is required, it should be watered and tamped thoroughly to prevent uneven settling from the weight of the bin.
3. The site should allow easy access for easy loading and unloading, as well as provide additional space for future units.
4. When selecting a bin site, also consider the positioning of handling equipment, availability of electricity and the placement of fans, heaters and gas tanks.
Scribe the Diameter
1. Determine the center of the foundation site and drive a small 2 x 4 in the ground to mark it. Drive stake into the ground so that it is the same height as the finished foundation will be.
2. Using one large spike, nail a straight 2 x 4 to the top of the center spike. This 2 x 4 should be approximately two feet (2') longer than the radius of the bin. The swiveling 2 x 4 will act as a compass, enabling you to scribe the correct diameter of the foundation and later locate the anchor and stiffener bolt locations.
NOTE: Making the 2 x 4 two feet (2') longer than the radius, allow the 2 x 4 to also be use d as a leveling
device and for pulling concrete.
Figure 5A Scribe the Diameter
5. Foundations
Foundation Forms
Foundation Form Options
Two (2) styles of foundation forms are commonly used for unstiffened farm bins. The first is the Circular Form. (See Figure 5B.) The second style of foundation is the Octagon Form, made of 2" x 8" boards set into a square with blocked corners to form an octagon. This eight (8) sided form will approximate a circle and is easy to construct. (See Figure 5C on Page 18.)
Figure 5B Circular Form
Preparing the Foundation Forms
1. Having scribed the diameter of the foundation, proceed by digging the foundation’s footing, which consists of a large circular trench inside the foundation line. (Refer to foundation charts on Pages 19-27.)
2. Once the footing has been dug, you are ready to build the forms. The forms must be rigid enough to hold their shape against the poured concrete.
3. The foundation must be flat. Sloped floors cannot be used in drying bins. A carpenter’s level placed on top of the compass 2 x 4 constructed earlier will enable you to set the top of the forms to match the top of the center stake.
4. Check the form work with a transit to ensure a uniform elevation for the entire foundation. The foundation should be level within 1/8" on non-stiffened tanks and within 1/4" on stiffened tanks at bin wall perimeter. Stiffened tanks must be shimmed level. Provisions for unloading system trenches, air ducts, etc., should be made as required by the particular grain system used.
NOTE: All foundation specifications shall be construed as recommendations only. Because of the many
variable conditions in actual installation, manufacturer assumes no liability for results arising from the use of such recommendations.

Placing the Reinforcement
1. Once the forms and trench have been prepared, begin placing the reinforcement rods and mesh in the foundation’s footing. (See the appropriate charts and drawings for the bin to determine requirements and positions of the reinforcement on Pages 21-27.) Be sure reinforcement rods are properly lapped by wiring.
2. Place at least 2" of compacted sand on the inside section of the foundation to provide a good base for the concrete and to protect against rodents.
3. Cover the sand with 4 mil polyethylene plastic, which will act as a moisture barrier.
4. Add two (2) layers of 6" x 6" wire mesh to the entire area of the foundation slab or the entire foundation for monolithic systems to complete the preparation of the bin’s foundation.

Fan pad and fan must be level and smooth for proper operation. Improper leveling can cause vibration problems.
Placement of the Fan Pad: Tr ansitions, Fans and Heaters Only
Vane Axial Fan Pad
If a fan or fan and heater combination is to be installed, refer to Figure 5D below, to determine the concrete pad size.
1. The top of this pad should be level with the top of the bin’s foundation.
2. Recommended pad thickness is 4" minimum.
3. Front of pad should be perpendicular to bin wall.
4. Pad for heater is not required. If it is to be added, pour the pad to cover the locations of both the heater and the fan.
For fans and transitions used in aeration duct system applications, refer to the transition and aeration installation instructions.
CAUTION

CAUTION
Fan pad and fan must be level and smooth for proper operation. Vibration problems can result from improper fan leveling.
Centrifugal Fan Pad
1. Fan pad should be poured 2" below the top of bin foundation for all centrifugal fans.
2. A pad for heaters is not required, but is recommended.
3. Recommended pad thickness is four inches (4").
4. If a downwind heater pad is to be installed, the pad width (“C”) should be 48" and extended toward the bin by 33".
5. Fan discharge should be centered on centerline of bin.
6. The fan pad should be perpendicular to bin wall.
Figure 5E Centrifugal Fan Pad
5. Foundations
Anchor Bolt Placement
1. Having poured and leveled the concrete, use the center stake and straight 2 x 4 again to find the bolt circle radius for the outside hold down brackets.
2. Select a starting point and stretch a pre-measured chord (“E” chord distance in Figure 5G) along the imaginary circle formed by the bolt circle radius. This will give you the bolt locations on the bolt circle radius.
3. Take into consideration the placement of these bolts so as not to interfere with the positions of bin doors and transitions. (Refer to the following anchor bolt chart on Page 22 for necessary radius and chord lengths.) Take the time and work carefully since accuracy is important.
NOTE: The top edge of slab where the bin wall sets must be held to within 1/8" of level. NOTE: The above anchor bolt radii and dimensions are for the FCDL series only. For NC commercial
tanks, refer to the NC commercial section of the foundation recommendations in PNEG-318.

Floating Monolithic Foundation Pad for Bins with up to 5 Rings
Monolithic Pads
The foundation design is based on a minimum allowable soil bearing capacity of 3000 PSF. Bearing capacity of the soils should be determined by geotechnical investigation and be of uniform bearing capacity.
1. The foundation site must be free of vegetation and debris and be well drained.
2. The foundation must be founded below the frost line or placed on non expansive frost free fill.
3. All material used for backfill inside the ring wall should be clean, well graded, crushed rock or a sand and gravel mixture. Backfill should be placed in 6" lifts, 95% compaction.
4. All reinforcement must meet the requirements of ASTM A615 grade 60 deformed bars.
5. Lap all circumferential bars 35 bar diameters and stagger all laps in plans 3'-0". Estimates do not include end laps.
6. Concrete must have a minimum compressive strength of 3000 PSI at 28 days, 6%-8% air entrainment, 4" slump.

Inverted “T” Foundation (3000 PSF Soil Bearing Capacity)
Instructions
1. Determine bearing capacity of soils by using geotech nical investigations. Found all footings on soils of uniform bearing capacity.
2. All bins with a diameter of 60' or larger must use ASTM A615 grade 60 deformed bars for concrete reinforcement. Bins with a diameter less than 60' must use ASTM A615 grade 40 deformed bars.
3. Concrete must have a minimum compressive strength of 3000 PSI at 28 days.
4. Foundation site should be free of vegetation and debris and be well drained.
5. The foundation should be founded below the frost line or founded on non-frost susceptible soils.
6. Lap all circumferential bars 35 bar diameters and stagger all laps in plan 3' 0".
7. All material used for backfill inside the ring wall should be a clean, well graded, crushed stone or a sandgravel mixture. Backfill should be placed in 6" lifts and well compacted.
8. Estimates do not include end laps.

Sidewall Construction
Sidewall Construction Instructions
Gauge Color Code
1. Before bolting the sidewall sheets together, check for the proper gauge of steel for the first ring. Higher gauge numbers denote the thinner materials. (For example, 20 gauge material is thinner than 14 gauge.)
2. In erecting most grain bins, the thinnest material usually goes on top, therefore the first sidewall ring you assemble will be the top ring of the bin.
3. Check the various gauges of the bin with the color code chart and begin building accordingly.
REMEMBER assemble the top ring first.
Gauge Color Code
20 Red 19 Black/Yellow 18 Orange 17 Pink/Light Blue 16 Blue 15 Brown/Red 14 Green 13 Yellow/Blue 12 Black 11 Pink 10 Light Blue
9 Blue/Orange 8 Yellow

6. Installation
NOTE: The rope caulking is installed before each sheet is assembled. Apply rope caulking between the
last vertical row of bolts and edge of outside sheet. There is sufficient caulking for all vertical seams on storage and drying bins. Wipe sheet clean where caulking is to be applied.

PNEG-1095 FCDL 4.00" Corrugation Externally S tiffened Grain Bin 39
6. Installation
Caulking and Bolting Sidewall Sheets
1. Install rope caulk to each sheet before it is assembled. (See Figure 6B on Page 39.)
2. Begin assembling sidewall sheets, end to end (overlapping the same way throu ghout), until the ring is completed. Use correct size bin bolts throughout. All body sheet bolts are to be installed with the bolt head and its neoprene washer to the outside and the nut on the inside. Do not tighten bolts until all sheets are assembled and form a complete ring.
3. Attach lifting brackets to stiffener bolt holes. These straps, coupled to the jacks will enable you to later elevate the bin.
4. Now tighten the bolts in sequence, starting from the center and working to the edge in both directions. This permits the sidewall sheets to draw-up evenly. Complete 1 ring and stop. (See Figure 6C on
Page 39.) Tighten from the nut side.
5. You are now ready to assemble the roof. Refer to the roof erection manual for roof assembly instructions located in roof hardware box.
Figure 6D Standa rd Sidewall Sheets (As viewed from inside the bin.)
6. Installation
Lifting Jack Usage
General Lifting Jack Instructions
1. Before constructing the bin, consider the location of the door and other accessories. Proper placement of lifting jacks in relationship to anchor bolts could make a difference on odd or even ring bins. Walk-through door is centered between two (2) stiffener anchor bolts. The sidewall sheets are also staggered 1/3 from end to end.
2. Anchor all jacks securely with metal stakes and cable.
3. Raise the bin just high enough to assemble the next ring. When lifting the bin, crank all jacks equally. This will prevent bowing the previously assembled rings and make for easier hole alignment. (See Figure 6E.)
Figure 6E Lifting Jack
4. Bolt the next ring to the inside of the first ring. Be sure to stagger the sheets and select the proper gauge material.
5. Lower the bin onto the foundation after assembling and tightening bolts on the new ring or rings.
6. Re-bolt the lifting straps to the lowest ring in place thus far. Continue ring additions until ready for the door installation.
NOTE: The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience. Factors such as
bin size, soil compaction, wind velocity, jack design, etc., are all to be considered when deciding how many to use. If in doubt, use one jack on every vertical sea m. Be sure to use heavy duty jacks for commercial installation.
NOTE: Add inside and outside ladders to bin walls as you continue to raise the bin. (Refer to the manual
supplied with the ladder.)

Stiffener Splicing Details
Stiffener Splicing Instructions
1. In some cases, the bottom stiffeners with the base plates attached will not rest flush on the foundation due to unlevel concrete or other conditions. Shim plates have been furnished and should b e used to fill any gaps between the base plates on the stiffeners and the concrete.
2. Stiffeners that are 10 gauge through 16 gauge (10, 12, 14, 16 gauge) have an offset splice, these stiffeners are offset at the top. (See Figure 6J.)
3. When attaching the tops of 5 gauge stiffeners to the bottom of 5 gauge or 8 gauge stiffeners or the tops of 8 gauge stiffeners to the bottom of 8 gauge or 1 0 gauge stiffeners, use a separate splice plate (FC-42076). (See Figure 6K on Page 53.)

Improperly unloading grain through door opening may cause grain bin failure. Unloading directly through the door opening should be limited to grain bins no larger than 24' (7.32 m) diameter and grain depths no greater than 18' (5.49 m). Unloading from the door opening should be done only with use of an auger hood with the auger inserted through the opening all the way to the center of the bin.
Door Placement
CAUTION
Unloading from Bin Door
1. Unloading from the door opening should be done only with the use of an auger hood and having the auger inserted through the opening all the way to the center of the grain bin.
2. Unloading directly from the door opening should be limited to grain bins no larger than 24' in diameter and grain depths no greater than 18' total.
3. See Figure 6L for door placement. Refer the 2 ring door instruction on Page 55 and round access door installation instruction on Page 63 for details on installing these doors.
NOTE: These pages show the standard door usage and placement. NOTE: Special bins/silos are sometimes purchased that utilize a special 2 ring door or an alternate.
See special instructions that may be included with these bins/silos.

2 Ring Door Installation
Before starting to install, be sure the correct door has been received. (See Chart below.) Note that 1 ring door are standard with some sizes of bins/silos. Refer to Page 63 for round access door installation instructions.
2 Ring Door Installation Instructions (See Figure 6N on Page 56.)
1. Remove inner door panels and outer door cover. Apply double row of rope caulk along door flanges, noting how door and bin sheets lap. The top of the door frame goes to the inside of the sidewall and the bottom of the door frame goes t o the outside of the sidewall sheet. With inne r door panels and outer door cover removed, set door frame into opening. Insert a bolt at the four (4) corners of door
frame and sidewall, but do not tighten until completing Step 2.
2. Re-install inner door panels at original locations. Close latch bars to lock panels in place. Be sure that panels are fully seated over all bearing pins. Install inner panel hinge assemblies per illustration instructions with hinges.
NOTE: Do not distort door frame with use of alignment or drift punches - if necessary, drill or ream
holes to insert bolts in door frame. Now tighten frame bolts starting at center and working toward top and bottom on each side.
3. Keep inner panels latched and loosen all bearing pin bolts. Re-tighten all bearing pin bolts. This makes loading on pins uniform for easier operation of panels.
4. If some latch bars are loose or require excessive force to lock, loosen hex socket cap screws and adjust in or out until latch bars operate smoothly. Check that the panels are fully seated over all bearing pins.
5. Re-install outer door cover. Adjust outer door hinges and latches as required.
6. Assemble door hold back as shown on next page. (See Figure 6N on Page 56.) Open door cover until it approaches the bin wall. Hook retaining bracket over lower latch mount and position the door hold back bracket against bin wall in a valley. Drill a 3/8" hole through the bin wall and bolt the door hold back bracket to the bin. If needed, install the door hold back extension to door hold back bracket.

Base Angle and Stiffener Shim Installation
Base Angle
1. Once the door frame has been placed and secured, continue adding necessary sidewall ring(s).
2. To the lower edge of the final bottom ring, attach the base angle ring. The base angle should be left loose enough to allow the sheet to move down and settle when the jacks are removed. The base angle should then be tightened.
3. Before lowering the bin, as an option, you may apply mastic sealer to the entire underneath side of the base angle. (See Figure 6S.)
Anchor Bolt and Shim
4. Next, lower the bin onto the foundation. (Holes in the stiffener bases should line up with the anchor bolts.) Check for an adequate seal. (See Figure 6T.)
5. Check for any gaps between the stiffener bases and concrete. If any gaps exist, use the shim plates (FC-42077) provided to fill the gaps. (See Figure 6U.)

Sidedraw Systems
Installation and Management of Sidedraw Systems in FCDL Series Bins/Silos
The company designs and manufacturers bins to the highest standards, however proper installation and good usage practices for a commercial flume system are essential, regardless of manufacturer. The following practices address general usage and installation criteria for such systems.
Sidedraw Installation
1. Side discharge is only permitted in stiffened bins when a sidedraw flume system manufactured by a bin company has been installed. No corrugated steel bin should be unloaded through the sidewall without installation of such a system and permission of the manufacturer.

Sidedraw Management and Usage
1. Sidedraw systems are intended for use with dry flowable grain. Sidedraws are not to be used for poorly flowing products. This is not unique to our bin and flume systems but is a general rule for such systems.
2. In multiple system installations, only one sidedraw may be used at any one time.
3. Filling should not be occurring at the same time as grain is being withdrawn through the sidedraw flume system.
4. Prolonged storage of grain in the sloped condition produced by sidedraw discharge may accelerate differential settlement and result in deformations of the bin/silo. After using the sidedraw system, the sloped grain should be returned to a near level condition by use of the center discharge. Leveling of the grain should also allow more even consolidation of foundation and fill soils and produce more even settlement of the bin/silo.
5. If geotechnical investigations or past experience indicate significant foundation level soil variations or a site propensity toward differential settlement, sidedraw usage may be prohibited or severely restricted. In this situation, the use of a flume system should be reviewed with geotechnical consultants or the foundation engineer.

NOTE: W ind rings must be installed
in relation to the ladder rungs as shown here to ensure compliance with O.S.H.A., regulations.
Wind Ring Installation
1. Sidedraw systems may require additional wind rings. They must be attached at the beginning of assembly because they go on the upper most rings. (See Wind Ring
Requirements Chart.)
2. To connect wind ring pipe to the stiffeners, field drill 3/8'' holes through the flange of the stiffener. (See Figure 6W.)
3. Attach wind ring pipe section to stiffener using two (2) 3/8" x 2-1/2" U-bolts and nuts.
(See Figure 6W.)
4. Connect section of wind ring pipe to the first section by sliding the male end into the female end of pipe. Fasten together using two (2) wind ring couplers and six (6) 3/8" x 1" flanged head bolts with nuts. Couplers should be centered on the seam of pipes.
(See Figure 6W.)

Locating Chutes
1. Starting from the first row of holes in the top sheet, measure down the “starting distance” for the bin. See Sidedraw Chute Chart on
Page 65. (See Figure 6V on Page 65 and See Figure 6Y.)
2. Keep adding the required number of chutes, making sure to leave 8" between the chute bolt holes. (See Figure 6V on Page 65.)
Locating Discharge Opening
1. The last bolt hole in the chute should line up with the center of the discharge chute opening that is to be cut. (See Figure 6Z.) Therefore, you should be able to approximate an opening by measuring 9-1/2" above and below the last bolt hole of the chute. Mark horizontal cut lines.
6. Installation
2. To find the vertical center of the chute opening, measure over 11" to the right and left of the chute bolt rows. Mark center point.
(See Figure 6Z.) Then from the center point,
measure 7" on both sides and mark vertical cut lines.
3. Cut opening where marked, make sure corners have a minimum of 1-1/2" radius.
(See Figure 6Z.)

Sidewall Overlap
1. For proper watershed, make sure that the upper side sheet overlaps on top of the sidedraw weldment. (See Figure 6AA.)
Caulking
1. To seal the sidedraw weldment to the sidewall sheets, use two (2) beads of caulking, one bead of caulk on each side of the outside row of vertical bolts. Use discharge tube weldment as a template to field drill the bolt holes through sidewall sheet. Use 3/8" bolts and nuts provided to bolt sheets together.
(See Figure 6AB and Figure 6AC.)

DANGER
DO NOT CUT STIFFENER.
If stiffeners do not fit as they should, call the engineering department. Cutting stiffeners to fit will cause structural damage and possible bin failure. The stiffener must continue through the transition to the foundation.
Tr ansition Assembly (TR-6919)
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY OF TRANSITION.
Instructions
1. Transition opening location must be centered on sidewall stiffener. (See Figure 6AD.) Transition opening must be cut 54" x 11" and 2" above the concrete. Remove stiffener before cutting sidewall. Cut sidewall to dimensions given to ensure proper fit.
2. An access hole must be cut for the stiffener in bottom of the transition housing. Cut a 4-3/4" x 7-1/4" hole in the bottom center of the transition before attaching the transition to the bin.
on Page 70.)
3. Apply a generous bead of caulk around the perimeter of the opening. Place transition assembly over the transition opening. Fasten the side of the transition collar to the bin using self-tapping screws. Field drill the top of the transition collar to line up with the plenum bolt holes in the bin.
(See Figure 6AG on Page 71.)
(See Figure 6AF
4. Field drill the stiffener bolt(s) through the transition collar so they are aligned.
5. Now a hole must be cut in the top center of the transition housing. Mark a 7-1/4" x 8" wide opening for the stiffener to enter. Cut along the line. Bottom edge of entrance collar will also need to be trimmed to provide clear access for stiffener. Place stiffener through transition housing and attach to sidewall. Be sure stiffener anchor is located on anchor bolt. Place washer and nut on anchor bolt and tighten.
(See Figure 6AH on Page 71.)
6. If you do not have the optional transition seal kit, you need to make a plate to seal around the stiffener at the top and bottom of the housing to minimize air loss. Make sure to caulk around the plate before fastening to transition housing.

Seal Kit (TR-5062) (Optional)
1. The air deflector included in seal kit TR-5062 may be installed over stiffener at customer’s request.
2. Caulk stiffener/transition cover plates on one side of cover plate along the three (3) straight edges.
(See Figure 6AE.)
3. Place stiffener/transition cover plate on top of transition housing and use the self-drilling screws to fasten cover plate to transition.
4. Repeat this procedure on the inside bottom of the transition housing. The cover plates will need to be trimmed to fit properly on the bottom. Caulk everything well when plates have been secured.
