Installing the 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
brackets to the stiffeners. Refer to the gauge sheet to determine the location of the wind rings or if
additional wind rings will be needed for the sidedraw systems.
1. Determine the location of wind ring and install a wind ring bracket (38) to each stiffener (48) using
flange bolts (68) and flange nuts (69).
NOTE:
The flange bolt (68) length may vary with sidewall gauge thickness.

2. Tighten all the hardware to the recommended torque specifications. See
.
3. Place a wind ring section (39) onto the wind ring bracket (38) and install using a C-clamp (40),
3/8" x 1" flange bolts (6) and 3/8" flange nuts (11). Do not tighten until all wind ring sections are
installed.
4. Repeat this procedure, inserting each wind ring section (39) into the previously installed wind ring
section (39). Secure the wind ring sections together using 7/16" x 3-1/4" flange bolts (5) and 7/16"
hex nuts (14).
5. Before installing the last wind ring section (39), slide a wind ring coupling collar (41) onto the
previously installed wind ring section (39).
6. Install the last wind ring section (39) 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. Align the three pre-drilled holes in the wind ring coupling collar (41) with the previously installed wind
ring section (39) and install 7/16" x 3-1/4" flange bolts (5) and 7/16" hex nuts (14). Field drill the
remaining three holes in the last wind ring section (39) using the wind ring coupling collar (41) as a
guide.
8. Install the remaining 7/16" x 3-1/4" flange bolts (5) and 7/16" hex nuts (14) and tighten all the
hardware to the recommended torque specifications. See
