1 Temperature Cable Guidelines for
40–Series Bins Equipped with the
Z-Tek™™ Roofing System.
Temperature cable brackets are provided by GSI as standard equipment on all 40–Series Bins equipped
with the Z-Tek™ roofing system. GSI supplied temperature cable brackets are the only approved method
for support of any temperature/moisture cables. All temperature cable brackets must be installed at the
specified locations as shown in this document. Any variation from this pattern or cable quantity must be
approved by GSI Engineering.

NOTE: Starting lengths for temperature cables are measured from the temperature cable bracket on
the rafter to the top of the top ring. Temperature cables are located on specific rafter radius
locations and each rafter radius will vary for each bin diameter.

The temperature cable lengths in the chart above are the distances from where the temperature cable
attaches to the rafter or the center collar to the top ring. To calculate the correct temperature cable length,
add 32 inches for each bin ring to the starting length. Temperature cables must terminate above any
unload equipment and be secured in place with twine. DO NOT allow cables to become tangled in unload
equipment.
