PNEG-1086 42'-60' Externally Stiffened 2 Ring Door
Written instructions for installation of a NCWT0108 (42'-60' diameter bin/silo) 2 ring door package
in a externally stiffened tank. (Continued)
The horizontal seam of the sidewall sheet above the door header will bolt to the jamb plate where
it extends above the door frame. The sidewall will be on the exterior of the plate. Install base angle
(B-6753) at the area the plate does not extend above. Utilize silicon caulk as necessary to seal
this location.
Standard base stiffeners will mount directly above the frame stiffener. Shim as necessary for firm
support and bolt the stiffeners together using a 3/4" x 5" bolt, 3/4" nut and 3/4" washer.
7. Bearing pins, WD-6224 (8), are mounted to the inside frame flange at the eight (8) large/0.65" x 0.75"
slots. Use S-2741, 5/16" x 1-1/2" bolts and attach the bearing pins at these eight (8) locations by
inserting the grooved pin into the hole and running the 5/16" bolt to the inside.
Use 5/16" washer (S-845) and 5/16" flange head nut (S-3611) to secure bearing pin.
8. Assemble the door handle reinforcement angles, door handles, latches and hinges to the top and
bottom inner door panels as shown in
. Install the 1/2" x 1-1/2" bolts in the outer
door frame at four (4) locations and thread the door latch bar holder (WD-6234) onto the bolt. The
door handle will mount over these holders when installed. Utilize washers if necessary to adjust the
latch bar holder position.
Mount the door panel onto the four (4) bearing pins and lock
the latches over the latch bar holder. Center the bearing pins in the door panel holes and tighten.
Then, attach the door panel hinges to the frame hinges. Be sure door panels open smoothly and the
latch bars lock completely. Apply 1/2" x 1" seal strip to the inner frame weldment to seal around the
inner panels.
9. Bolt the outer cover attachment angles onto the outer frame weldment with 5/16" x 1-1/4" bolts.
Use a 5/16" flat washer on all slotted connections. Refer to
for details.
10. Attach the outer cover hinge weldment (NCWT0165) and the latch brackets (NCWT0166) to the outer
cover angles with 5/16" x 1-1/4" bolts. Bolt head should be on the inside for all outer cover angle
connections. Use a 5/16" flat washer on all slotted connections. Refer to
for details.
11. Assemble the exterior cover as shown in
. Install the retaining brackets (WD-033), outer cover
hinges (NCWT0170) and reinforcement channels to the outer cover as shown. Use 5/16" x 3/4" bolts
for all outer cover reinforcement channel connections only. Use 5/16" x 1-1/4" bolts for all retaining
bracket and hinge connections. The bolt head with sealing washer should be on the outside of
the door cover for these connections. Attach the outer cover assembly to the outer cover hinge
weldments with 3/8" x 4-1/2" bolts and nuts. Adjust hinges until outer cover opens and closes
smoothly. Apply 1/2" x 1" foam seal strip to the outer frame weldment to seal outer cover. Fill all
un-used bolt holes with 3/8" x 1" bin bolts. Check to ensure that the unloading decals (DC-GBC-2A
and DC-GBC-2S) are installed on the outside of the outer door cover. Check to ensure that the
danger decals (DC-GBC-1A and DC-GBC-1S) are installed on the inside of the outer door cover.
Please contact GSI immediately if decals are missing or damaged.
12. Caulk as necessary at the top and bottom juncture of the door frame and the sidewall and foundation.
