18'-21' (5.49 m-6.40 m) 60° “X” Bracing Detail
Install “X” bracing rods as in Figure 5M , Figure 5N and Figure 5O .
When the hopper structure has been completed, it should be level to within ± 1/8" maximum deviation, as
compared to all other support columns as measured at the top of the compression angle ring. The support
columns must be plumb to within ± 1/2" as measured from top to bottom. Seal any gaps between
compression elements and the seal strip at column locations with silicon or other conventional means.
