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
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'.
For taller bins, grandstand quantity as well as dimensions “A” and “B” are given on Page 23 and Page 24
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.)

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 17. First piece may need to be
trimmed for length to fit at the proper location.
4. Start at bin wall with shortest floor piece.
SUPPORT LAYOUT FOR CORRECT BIN DIAMETER AND SUPPORT SPACING
of floor piece is facing bin wall and is at designated distance from the wall (The open channel edge of
floor must be facing the center of the bin.)
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 4A on Page 13 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.

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.

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 under-splice should then be installed under the split of plank A and B. The splice should 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.
