Base Angle Installation

On the lower edge of the final bottom ring, attach the base angle ring using 5/16" x 1-1/4" bin bolts. Before
the bolts are tightened, push the angle tight against the bottom edge of the sheet.

If the optional GSI base sealer strip is being used, before lowering the bin, apply the optional base sealer
to the entire underneath side of the base angle.

(See Figure 6C.)

Next, lower the bin onto the foundation

and check for an adequate seal and supplemental sealing provided as needed.

The bin is to be sealed to the concrete foundation against water infiltration. If base sealer strip is not used,
another method should be used to seal the base ring to the concrete.
