5. Bolting Requirements
1. Q - Quad punched sheets.
QL - Laminated quad punched sheets (two (2) sheets of same gauge bolted together).
FL - Laminated figurate (6x) punched sheets (two (2) sheets of same gauge bolted together).
All bolts referenced in this table are bolts with a neoprene washers on the outside of the tank.
No washers are required on the inside of the tank. Refer to the stiffener and splice hardware section
on Page 32 for stiffener connection hardware usage.
2. Before bolting sheets together, apply a single strip of caulking on both sides and 12" on both sides
of top edge. DO NOT CAULK BOTTOM EDGE.
a. When attaching a 6Q sheet to a 8Q sheet, use the 3/8" x 1" bin bolt in the horizontal seam.
b. All base sheets are bolted to the base angle with 3/8" x 1-1/2" bin bolts. (Independent of
sidewall gauge.)
* 6FL to 8QL will be connected using 3/8" x 1-1/2" bolts.
** These bolts require the use of a special 7/16" recessed nuts (S-8479).
*** A 3/8" x 2" Bolt may be needed at first stiffener to sidewall bolt.
