Unload Well Installation

General Information

Observe the minimum spacings shown in the illustration below.

(See Figure 6K.)

Wells should be

positioned on the tube so that the gates will open when control pipes are pulled out and away from the
center of the bin.

A control pipe kit may be ordered from your dealer. For the center well, use 1/2" SCH. 40 pipe
(-7/8" O.D.). For the intermediate well(s) use 1" SCH. 40 pipe (-1 3/8" O.D.). It may be necessary to
support the unload well(s) and/or discharge tube from below with blocks or other material.

Consult the manufacturer of the bin floor for information on cutting openings in the floor for unload wells,
for sealing around unload wells and for proper support of the floor around the unload wells and
discharge tube.
