2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation

Fan Placement Diagram

For uniform air flow, place the fans in relation to the unloading tube as shown in Figure 2A. Floor planks
should be perpendicular to the unloading tube.

2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation

Grain Systems Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation

Using the GSI recommended method for full floor installation should save construction time and
eliminate the problem of improper installation which could invalidate your warranty. Note the following
dimensions as shown in Figure 2B.

• Dimension “A” is the leg-to-leg spacing along the centerline of a given plank.

• Dimension “B” is the amount of stagger between supports under adjacent planks
and is half of Dimension “A”.

• Dimension “C” is the distance from the center of the unload auger to the nearest rows of
supports and is half of Dimension “B”.

Dimensions “A”, “B” and “C” are shown on the appropriate grandstand layout for wall heights under
32 feet. For taller bins, grandstand quantity as well as dimensions “A” and “B” are given on Page 22 and

Page 23 for 20 gauge.

1. Layout centerlines of tank. Make sure one centerline is in line with the direction of the flooring
planks while the other centerline is perpendicular with the flooring planks. See Figure 2B.

2. From the centerline that is perpendicular to the flooring planks, measure the distance of “C”
Dimension and mark a chalk line. See Figure 2B.

3. From the line chalked in the previous step, measure over the distance of “B” Dimension and chalk
another line. Repeat this procedure across the bin until reaching the wall in both dire ctions. When
completed, there should be a set of parallel lines (perpendicular to the floor planks) with “B”
Dimension distance between each line. See Figure 2B.

Chalked lines referred to Step 2

2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation

IMPORTANT: First piece of flooring must start at the

proper distance from centerline of bin. Refer to floor
layout on Page 13. First piece may need to be
trimmed for length to fit at the proper location.

Figure 2C

4. Install flooring starting at the bin wall on the opposite side of the unload auger. Floor planks should
be placed perpendicular to the unload auger with the outside edge the correct distance from the
center of the bin.
bin wall and the open channel edge is facing towards the center of the bin.

(See Figure 6A on Page 13.)

Be sure the flat edge of the floor plank is facing the

(See Figure 2C.)

Position
the supports for the first/shortest floor plank according to the number of bin rings and corrugation as
shown in the illustrations
the flashing to flooring and bin wall to hold plank in place. (

on Pages 14-21

or stated in the charts on

See Page 11

Page 22 and Page 23

for flashing installation.)

. Attach

5. POSITION THE NEXT ROW OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE CHALK LINES and support

layout. The straight tab should “snap” under the first (previous) floor piece. After the support s in the
row are correctly positioned, install the next floor piece by hooking the open channel edge under
the outside hooks of the floor supports. Push down sharply on the edge of the floor piece until it
snaps into the previous floor piece. (See Figure 2C.) Continue this p rocess for the rest of th e floor
cutting planks for center and intermediate wells as needed. See Figure 5A on Page 12 for center
well support locations.

NOTE: Whenever there is more than Dimension B divided by three inches (B/3") of plank unsupported

beside the bin wall, there should be a support on that plank or a support on each of the planks
adjacent to it such that no more than Dimension B divided by three inches (B/3") is unsupported.
For example: 2.66" bin with 8 rings has a “B” dimension of 22". Take 22"/3" = 7.33"
(Round to 7"). Therefore, there should be no more than 7" of unsupported floor plank.
