Basin Sections - 10’ & 12’ Wide Models (24’ to 40’ Long)
4. Rig the second basin section adjacent to the equalizer
flume on the steel support as shown in Figure 6.
5.
Align the bolt holes in the equalizer flume and equalizer
opening with drift pins (drift pins provided by others) while
drawing the second basin section against the flanged
connection.
6. Install 3/8” bolts, nuts and washers in every hole around
the equalizer opening and tighten. Cut off excess sealer
tape.
7. Bolt the second basin section to the steel support.
8. Place the drip channel over the adjoining pan section
flanges. Secure by installing 5/16” self-tapping screws
through the retaining clips into the end panels. For
stainless steel construction, secure by installing 1/4”
stainless steel bolts through the retaining clips into brass
rivnuts secured in the end panel. (See Figure 7.)
9. Place the vertical splash guard in the bend of the vertical
supports. Attach the vertical splash guard using 5/16”
tappers. For stainless steel construction, attach the vertical
splash guard using 5/16” stainless steel nuts and bolts.
(See Figure 5.)

Basin Sections - 17’ 20’ & 24’ Wide Models (12’ to 40’ Long)
On 17’ 20’ and 24’ wide models the equalizer flume is located
on the sides of adjoining basin sections. This flume is shipped
loose and must be installed to both basin sections. In addition
to the equalizer flume, these units are provided with drip
channels and splash guards to keep water from exiting
between the cells. The following procedure should be
performed in order to assure proper assembly.
1. Install one basin section of the unit on structural steel and
secure as described earlier.
2. Mating flanges which will make contact with others should
be cleaned to remove dirt, grease and moisture. Apply a
layer of sealer tape on one side panel centered over the
flume box holes as shown in Figure 8. Remove paper
backing strip from the sealer tape.
3. The side of the flume box which has studs installed in it
should now be connected to the side panel. The studs are
pushed through the sealer tape and holes of the side panel
and are secured by washers, lock washers and nuts.
