8. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
Hopper Sheets
When starting to attach hopper sheets to sidewall it is recommend that the first hopper sheet
seam be positioned halfway between leg positions. Lap the hopper sheets as shown. Use two
(2) strips of caulking on all seams at sidewall to hopper and hopper sheet to hopper sheet. Be
sure to place the head of the truss bolt on the inside of hopper. Leave one hopper sheet out to
allow room to install hopper collar. Be sure to use two (2) strips of caulking between hopper collar
and hopper sheets, then put last hopper sheet in place.
All 9' diameter 60° 3-6 ring and 7' diameter 67° 5 & 6 ring tanks require hopper
reinforcement angles. Angle covers entire seam (including hopper collar).
