Outlet Cutting Guidelines
1. Before ordering, predetermine the location of the outlet drops. Make sure the outlet drops do not
interfere with the connecting band locations.
2. When an outlet opening is cut, that section of tube loses much of its strength therefore additional
support may be necessary.
3. If you have internal bearing flighting, outlets may be cut below internal bearings but a hole must cut
in the spout half band allow access to internal hanger bearing.
4. We recommend removing flight before cutting the tube otherwise flight will be notched and/or rough
edges will occur. This may not significantly impact the performance of the auger, but burrs and
metal chips should be removed or abnormal wear will result. Also, grind down any rough edges on
tubing for a better fit and smoother operation.
5. Carefully measure the outlet before cutting. Follow the recommended guidelines as shown
in Figure 4AC . It is very important that the opening be large enough not to reduce capacity, but
small enough so the outlet can be covered securely by the spout.
