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.
Figure 2A

2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
Chalked lines referred to Step 2.
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 28 and
Page 29 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 directions. 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.
Figure 2B
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 16. 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. and the open channel edge is facing towards the center of the bin.
(See Figure 7A on Page 16.)
Be sure the flat edge of the floor plank is facing the bin wall
(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 to flooring and bin wall to hold plank in place. (
on Pages 19-27
or stated in the charts on
See Page 13
for flashing installation.)
Page 28-29
. Attach the flashing
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 supports 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 process for the rest of the floor cutting planks for center and intermediate wells as needed. See Figure 5A on Page 14 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.

2. Recommended Method for Full Floor 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 2D shows the layout of the undersplice plates a nd t he screw pattern used to secure them.
Figure 2D Pattern for Fastening Splice to Planks
2. Recommended Method for Full Floor 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 undersplice should then be installed under the split of plank A and B. The splice sho uld extend 3" under each plank. The splice should be screwed in place as shown in Figure 2D on Page 10.
3. This process will be repeated for all plank locations requiring a splice.
