Model 108 FLEX-AUGERļ Installation Manual
Auger Tube Installation
The FLEX-AUGER Delivery System includes two 45 degree elbows
as standard equipment. These elbows are used to make up the
sloping portion of the auger line at the feed bin, and elsewhere in
the system if necessary. If additional elbows are required they
should be ordered separately. Figure 2 shows how the elbow can be
cut into shorter sections.

NOTE: PVC elbows are belled. Dimensions shown do not include bell.
NOTE: All measurements are along the outside edge of the elbow.
1. Determine where the entrance hole for the auger tube must be
located on the building and cut it.
2. If necessary, cut the elbow used where the auger enters the
building. Slide the seal ring and neoprene seal over the straight end
of the elbow and place it in the hole cut in the building, with the
belled end outside the building. See Figure 3.
3. Clamp the belled end of the second elbow on the outlet end of the
boot on the feed bin.
4. Place the straight end of a tube section inside the belled end of the
elbow in the building. Hold the straight section of auger tube so that
it touches the elbow on the boot. Mark the spot where the tube
touches the boot elbow and cut the elbow at that point.
5. Place the belled end of the auger tube over the end of the elbow just
cut, and hold the tube against the top elbow. Mark and cut the
straight auger tube so that it will fit between the two elbows.
Remember to cut the auger tube long enough to fit inside the
belled end of the elbow in the building.
