SIDEDRAW DISCHARGE OPENING LOCATION
1. USE A SIDE DRAW REINFORCING SHEET AS TEMPLATE TO MARK UP DISCHARGE OPENING AND
DRILL 13/32" BOLT HOLES (IF APPLICABLE, REFER TO NEXT PAGE) OR, CUT THE DISCHARGE
OPENING AS PER THE DIMENSIONS ABOVE FOR THE SIZE OF OUTLET USED. OUTLET OPENING
MUST BE CENTERED VERTICALLY ON WALL SHEET AND HORIZONTALLY BETWEEN THE
UPRIGHTS. BE SURE TO ROUND THE CORNERS WITH A MINIMUM 1-
1/2” (38mm) RADIUS AS
SHOWN. (SQUARE CORNERS MAY INITIATE CRACKING IN WALL SHEET)
2.
DRILL 13/32” (10mm) BAFFLE MOUNTING HOLES 22” APART HORIZONTALLY AND ON 8” VERTICAL
CENTERS DOWN THE BIN WALL ON THE INSIDE CROWN OF THE CORRUGATION. THESE HOLES
MUST BE IN VERTICAL ALIGNMENT. INSTALL BAFFLE SECTIONS
WITH 3/8” GR8.2 BIN BOLTS.
REVERSE ANY HORIZONTAL SEAM WALL SHEET BOLTS THAT LINE UP WITH THE BAFFLES, SO
THAT THE BOLT HEAD IS ON THE INSIDE OF THE BIN. TAKE THE SEALING WASHER OFF THE
HEAD AND INSTALL IT BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE OF THE WALL SHEET AND THE NUT, TO MAINTAIN
THE SEAL. FAILURE TO TURN THE BOLTS AROUND CAN LEAD TO THEM INTERFERRING WITH
THE BAFFLES AND DISTORTING THE WALL SHEETS.
3. ALIGN FLANGED OUTLET OPENING WITH BOTTOM OF WALL SHEET OPENING. HOLD OUTLET IN
PLACE AND DRILL 7/
16” (11mm) HOLES IN THE BIN WALL SHEETS TO MATCH OUTLET. ATTACH
FLANGED OUTLET WITH
3/8” GR8.2 BOLTS. (HOLES MAY NOT MATCH CORRUGATION EXACTLY).
USE CAULKING BETWEEN BIN WALL AND FLANGE OUTLET TO ENSURE CONNECTION IS
WEATHER TIGHT.
4. IF THE DISCHARGE OUTLET IS LOCATED WHERE TWO LAMINATED WALL SHEETS ARE USED, AN
ALTERNATIVE REINFORCING METHOD WILL BE REQUIRED. CONSULT WESTEEL ENGINEERING
FOR FURTHER DETAILS ON YOUR SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CUT OPENING THROUGH HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL WALL SEAMS

5.4. Discharge Opening Procedure
1. Use a side draw reinforcing sheet as a template to mark up the discharge opening and drill 13/32" bolt holes
(if applicable, refer to
Section 5.5. – Side Draw Reinforcing Sheet Installation (15’ — 54’ Bins) on page 29
)
OR
2. Cut the discharge opening as per the dimensions for the size of outlet used. (See
Section 5.3. – Side Draw
Discharge Opening Location on page 28
.)
The outlet opening must be centered vertically on the wall sheet and horizontally between the uprights.
3. Be sure to round the corners with a minimum 1-1/2" (38mm) radius as shown in
Section 5.3. – Side Draw
Discharge Opening Location on page 28
. (Square corners may initiate cracking in the wall sheet)
Important: Do not cut the opening through horizontal or vertical wall seams
4. Drill 13/32" (10mm) baffle mounting holes 22" apart horizontally and on 8" vertical centers down the bin
wall on the inside crown of the corrugation. These holes must be in vertical alignment.
5. Install baffle sections with 3/8" grade 8.2 bin bolts.
6. Reverse any horizontal seam wall sheet bolts that line up with the baffles, so that the bolt head is on the
inside of the bin.
