Installing Wind Rings
Before You Begin
Refer the gauge sheet for the installation locations and quantities of wind rings.
What You Should Know
Before installing, determine the bin size, sidewall gauge thickness, and height. Use the hardware chart to
match the correct bolt length with the correct sidewall gauge thickness when installing the wind ring brack-
ets to the stiffeners (Refer to hardware requirements chapter). To determine the location of the wind rings
or if additional wind rings will be needed for sidedraw systems, refer the gauge sheet.
1. Install a wind ring bracket (B) to each stiffener (C) using flange bolts (A) and flange nuts (D).
Figure 9-22
Wind ring bracket
NOTE:
When installing the wind ring bracket to a 4
in. stiffener, use the bolt holes marked A,
C, and A only. Flange bolt hardware
length may vary with sidewall gauge
thickness.
2. Tighten hardware to the recommended torque specifications. See
Bolt Torque Specifications, page
3. Place a wind ring section (E) into the channel of the wind ring bracket (B), and install a C-clamp (I),
securing with flange bolts (H) and flange nuts (J). Do not tighten until all wind ring sections are
installed.
4. Repeat this procedure, inserting each wind ring section (E), over the previously installed wind ring
section, securing the wind ring sections together with flange bolts (F) and hex nuts (G).
5. Before installing the last wind ring section (E), slide a wind ring coupling collar (K) over the wind ring
section (E).
6. Install the last wind ring section (E) and cut the wind ring section to the proper length.
NOTE:
The cut needs to be made in a location that allows minimal space between the pipes.
7. Slide the wind ring coupling collar (K), aligning the three pre-drilled holes, and install flange bolts (F)
