PNEG-1060 6", 8" and 10" Variable Angle Auger Connector 11
4. Installation
With an operating range of 0° to 25°, the variable angle auger connector can be used for a variety of
applications. The intake end should attach to standard flange rings for standard bin unloading flight and
tubes. The discharge side of the connector box can bolt to standard flange rings, or it can make a smooth
tube type connection using the short flanged tube with connecting band. The smooth tube connection
allows standard utility augers to be attached to the connector box.
The Figure 4A below shows the intake side with a VAAC connector box attached to an unloading tube
and flight. The discharge side of the VAAC connector box is attached to a standard utility auger.

Inclined Auger Support
Figure 4A shows two different methods of supporting the inclined auger.
NOTE: The connector box CANNOT support the weight of the auger system attached to the output side
of the connector box.
OPTION A: WINCH KIT - a winch kit provides an easy means to adjust the discharge height of the
inclined auger. The kit includes winch, winch mount, roller assembly, roller assembly
mounts, lift cable and hardware.
OPTION B: SUPPORT STAND - An A-frame support stand provides a band on support for incline
auger. The support stand can be attached at different locations along the auger tube to
create various operating angles.
Loosen lid strap on connector box before raising or lowering incline auger or
damage may occur to equipment. The connector box will not raise higher than 25°.
