5. Required Tools and Critical Tool Characteristics
Equipping the field crew with the right tools is essential for a smooth installation. The GSI Modular
Tower Dryer requires a number of standard tools. Please pay particular attention to the following item
descriptions as the characteristics of the following tools are extremely important information for proper
installation. A comprehensive list of tools required to assemble and install the GSI Modular Tower Dryer
is included later in this chapter.
Critical Tool Characteristics
1. 1-1/8" Hammer drill star bit at least 12" long is REQUIRED. While the anchor bolts are 1" in
diameter, the holes for the anchor bolts MUST be 1-1/8" in diameter to allow room for the required
epoxy. Additionally, anchor bolts must be sunk deep enough so that no more than 2"-3" is above
the plate.
An air compressor hose is needed to blow out the dust from the holes prior to dropping in the anchor
bolts and epoxy.
2. Air compressor with hose: After drilled the holes for the anchor bolts, an air compressor with hose
is REQUIRED in order to blow all dust and debris out of the holes.

3. Punches: 1/4" Line up punches - at least 8
5/8" line up punches - at least 8
Ideally, during the installation process, crews will work in two (2) person teams with one team working
inside the dryer and one team working outside the dryer. Each crew member should have at least
two (2) punches available to them.
Punches should be long enough to provide significant leverage to the user and should have narrow
and pointed tips to facilitate the initial punch placement.
