These instructions for 90' diameter tanks and smaller. See PNEG-972 or PNEG-1343 for 105'
diameter tank sidedraw installation instructions.
Wind Ring Installation
Tanks that use wind rings require 2-3/4" diameter holes passing through the sidedraw chute; with the
center no less than 6" from either end and 4-3/8" from the sidewall. The wind ring must penetrate through
the chute and form a complete ring. Do not locate wind ring in 8" space at chute entrance. Field drill
stiffeners for wind ring attachment brackets (if required).
Discharge Tube Installation
1. Use the bottom two (2) holes in the last chute to locate discharge tube 28" below the 7
th
horizontal
seam. Refer to Figure 13B on Page 87 and Figure 13E on Page 89 for sidewall sheet hole
dimensions.
2. For proper water shed, install plate so upper body sheet overlaps the plate, as shown in Figure 13D
on Page 88 and Figure 13F on Page 90 .
3. Use discharge tube assembly as a template, drill all holes 7/16" diameter.
4. Use two (2) beads of caulking to seal discharge plate to body sheets. Use 3/8" bolts and nuts
provided to bolt discharge assembly to body sheets. For all locations where the sidewall uses
3/8" x 1-1/2" long bolts, use the same bolt to install the discharge tube.
