Model 108 FLEX-AUGER Installation Manual
NOTE: In some installations it may be possible to eliminate
the elbow on the boot, using only a straight auger tube
and one elbow where the auger tube enters the
building.
6. Dry-fit all parts. When satisfied that elbows and tubes fit
together smoothly, glue with PVC cement according to the
instructions on cement container and/or on page 55 of this
manual.
7. ALL TUBE JOINTS EXPOSED TO MOISTURE AND WEATHER
MUST BE SEALED OR CAULKED TO WATERPROOF THEM IN
ADDITION TO CEMENTING OR CLAMPING THE JOINT.
8. If there are more than 15 feet (4.5 meters) of auger tube between
the boot and the building, provide additional support for the
tubes so that the boot does not carry the weight of the auger.
Extra support can be achieved with cables or chain fastened to
the bin legs and the auger tube.
9. Locate and cut the outlet holes as required and specified in the
instructions on page 22.
10. Slide (2) Outlet Insert Rings onto the pipe at each outlet hole
location.
Each Outlet Assembly is shipped with Insert Rings for both steel
and PVC pipes.
The 3/8" (10 mm) thick rings are for steel tube systems. The 1/4"
(6 mm) thick rings are for PVC tube systems. Be sure to use the
appropriate Insert Rings for your system.
11.Install the remaining tubes in the system.
The PVC auger tubes should be fastened together using PVC
cement.
Model 108 Tube connectors should be used to connect steel
auger tubes.
