Perforated splice plates (198001) are provided to cover the joints between mating split planks. They are centered
to plank width and are held in place with 8 self drilling screws.
Note: Representative layouts of floors and floor support layouts are provided within the manual for select
combinations of bin diameter and bin tier height. These are primarily for illustration purposes only. Specific layouts
for all combinations can be obtained online at
www.westeel.com
. Follow the links to the aeration section of the
website, and then to the aeration floor layouts.
Cutting Planks:
The first few planks on either side of the bin require the corners to be cut. The number of planks
(C) requiring this can be obtained from the floor plank layout information for the diameter of the bin in question. In
addition, the planks requiring cutting are identified by a “C” that is stenciled along the edge of the plank. For
example, in a 21
’ bin, all planks on both sides labeled 1C, 2C and 3C (or 6 planks in total) are required to be cut.
Important Note:
Planks on opposite sides of the bin with the same number are not cut the same.
The planks
on the side of the bin where the installation starts, have the cuts made on the side of the planks with the flat side
and the mating leg folded underneath. The planks on the side of the bin where the floor installation finishes, have
the cuts made on the side of the plank where the mating leg is visible (see illustration).
The first and last plank:
The starting and the finishing plank (both labeled 1C), have the cuts made as illustrated
below. The cut starts at the corner of the plank and runs across the complete plank at about a 30º angle.
Therefore the end of the cut is
17 1/2” from the end of the plank. There is also an opposing cut made at the other
end of the plank. Remember that the cuts made to the two planks labeled 1C are not identical as per the Important
Note above.
NOTE ORIENTATION OF THE PLANK WITH RESPECT TO THE
VISIBLE LEG, AND THE LEG HIDDEN UNDERNEATH
All other planks:
All of the other planks that are required to be cut (2C, 3C and all others labeled with a C) are
cut at 45º angle (as illustrated). In this case the ends of the cut are 10” from the ends of the plank. Again planks
on opposite sides of the bin are cut differently as per the Important Note above. Sometimes on larger bins a
split plank is also a cut plank. In these occasions only one end of each split plank pair is cut.

All of the other planks that are required to be cut (2C, 3C and all others labeled with a C) are cut at 45º angle (as
illustrated). In this case the ends of the cut are 10
” from the ends of the plank. Again planks on opposite sides of
the bin are cut differently as per the Important Note above. Sometimes on larger bins a split plank is also a cut
plank. In these occasions only one end of each split plank pair is cut.
Flashing:
Flashings cover the gap between the floor planks and the bin wall. The overlap on mating flashings
should be installed such that the sweep wheel “steps up” from flashing to flashing. Bolt the flashings to the bin wall,
at the pre-
punched hole locations, using the 3/8” bolts and nuts provided with the bin and the 3/8” washers provided
with the floor. (Note: The flashings will need to be field drilled at Wide Corr vertical wall sheet seams. All holes in
Standard Corr bins must be field drilled.) Flashings are secured to the floor using the self drilling screws that are
provided. Four screws are provided for each flashing. They should be installed towards the inside of the bin to
secure overlapping corners and free edges. Flashing will need to be cut to accommodate internal protrusions such
as internal uprights…caulk as necessary.
