Locating Chutes
1. Starting from the first row of holes in the top sheet, measure down the “starting distance” for the bin.
(See Sidedraw Chute Chart on Page 50. ) (See Figure 6C on Page 50 and Figure 6D below.)
2. Keep adding the required number of chutes, making sure to leave 8" between the chute bolt holes.
(See Figure 6C on Page 50.)
3. Stagger the sidewall sheets on three (3) post stiffened tanks to create a vertical strip between
stiffeners free of vertical seams. Install the chutes between the stiffeners in this area.
Locate Discharge Opening
1. The last bolt hole in the chute should line up with the center of the discharge chute opening that is to
be cut. (See Figure 6E.) Approximate an opening by measuring 9-1/2" above and below the last bolt
hole of the chute. Mark horizontal cut lines.
2. To find the vertical center of the chute opening, measure over 11" to the right and left of the chute
bolt rows. Mark center point. (See Figure 6E.) Measure 7" from the center point on both sides and
mark vertical cut lines.
3. Cut opening where marked, making sure corners have a minimum of 1-1/2" radius. (See Figure 6E.)
