PREPARATION / INSTALLATION
U-Trough is designed to be installed under a steel aeration floor, but may be installed in a bin with a
concrete floor and trench as shown in Fig. 5. Instructions are provided for both types of floor. In either
case, the first step is to determine from which side of bin grain will be unloaded.
U-Trough must have unobstructed path to center sump, and center of top gearbox must be in exact
center of bin as shown in Fig. 5. Locate center of bin by taking several measurements.
For installation in concrete trench:
Ensure trench meets dimensions shown in Fig. 5. Trench must be formed when foundation is poured.
Use a cut-off wheel to remove rear tabs as shown in Fig. 5 to allow flush fit between concrete and center
sump.
Position U-Trough as shown in Fig. 5 so top of gearbox is at exact center.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure U-Trough is level and parallel with top of floor. Use shims if needed.
A two-piece metal plate may need to be field-fabricated and placed around U-Trough for attachment of
bin collar. Plate will be located inside of bin collar and attached to foundation and bin wall.
For installation in full aeration floor:
NOTE:
If installing in existing bin with a full aeration floor, it may be necessary to remove about half of floor.
Before installation, check floor height:
Minimum plenum height required for installation of U-Trough is 13-1/4".
Maximum floor thickness is 1-3/4".
