20. Repeat until all horizontal drain tubes are installed. Allow the cement
to set before you continue with the next step.
21. After the cement has set, place the drain elbows of all 12' channels
into the drain holes of the horizontal tubes. Check the fit of all drain
elbows. If needed, loosen the manifold hangers and adjust the entire
drain manifold (up or down) to allow the channel drain elbows to be
placed inside the horizontal tubes. Tighten the hanger bolts.
NOTE:
Do not set the manifold too high. Verify that the end of each
fodder channel remains on the fodder frame support arms.
No weight
from the fodder channels should rest on the drain manifold horizontal
tubes.
22. Slide one (1) WF6717 2" pvc slip cap onto the end of each horizontal
drain tube.
Do not cement these caps onto the tube.
They are
removed at times for maintenance to clean the drain tubes.
23. Install the upper tube and slip cap and the lower tube, drain end
elbow and extension to complete the drain manifold. Secure tubes to
the WF1386 tee fittings using PVC primer and cement.
NOTE:
Use of the lower 90° elbow depends on application.
Extension tube is constructed using leftover pvc tube. Additional
tubing can be purchased locally, or call your sales representative for
additional information. Install this last and after the supply manifold is
assembled and attached to the frame.
24. Continue with the installation of the supply manifold.

—
Do not cement cap to
tube
. Secure tube to tee
fitting using PVC primer
