Install Compression Angle
Lift the compression angles on top of the columns so that the columns fit between the inside and outside
vertical plates of the compression angle. A 5/8"-11 x 2-3/4" bolt may be placed in the top hole of the
compression angle and the top plate of the column for alignment purposes. Using 5/8"-11 x 2" bolts,
connect the compression angles to the columns with a splice plate on each side as shown in
Figure 7C .
Do not tighten bolts until after hopper panels are installed to allow alignment.
