Page 41: Anchor Bolt Detail
Chapter 5: Base Angle Installation Anchor Bolt Detail The following is the minimum requirement for anchoring a standard bin. Refer to sidedraw instructions for special anchoring details. • 5/8 in. diameter anchor bolt (A) is the minimum allowed, 3/4 in. diameter anchor bolt (A) is the mini- mum with side draw flume system.
Page 42: Installing The Base Angle Shims
Chapter 5: Base Angle Installation Installing the Base Angle Shims A section of the base boot plate will rest on top of the base angle, therefore causing the base boot to rest unevenly on the foundation. To offset this, base angle shims are required to ensure the base boot sets evenly on the foundation.
Page 43: Anchor Bolt Washer Installation
Chapter 5: Base Angle Installation Anchor Bolt Washer Installation Anchor bolt washers help to cover the oversized hole in the base plate. Before You Begin Anchor bolts are secured, and base plates installed. 1. Place a square plate washer (B) onto the anchor bolt (A). NOTE: A square plate washer (provided) must be installed between the base boot (C) and washer (D).
