8.) Set the next section in place and repeat steps 6 and 7. Connect the
sections with 4 self-tapping hex bolts per section through the top and
bottom holes on the flanges.
FIG. B
9.) Repeat steps 6 through 8 for all remaining sections until the run is
complete. For male-male channel connections, see Channel Adaptors.
Note: On extended runs you may encounter frame sections overhanging
channel sections. If this occurs, see Channel Spacers to re-align the
channels and frames.
10.) Using a 3/8"hex bolt and flat washer, install the frame connectors to secure
each joint. With the flange pointing down, pull the connector tight against
the frame crossbar, and bolt the connector to the frame on the opposite
side.
FIG. C
11.) Attach end caps at all exposed channel ends with 4 self-tapping hex bolts.
Trim the top of each end cap along the horizontal scores flush with the top
edge of the frame (at grade).
12.) Open the desired outlet(s) with a hole or reciprocating saw, taking care not
to rake the inside wall of the hub. After removing any burrs, make a No
Hub pipe connection with a suitable coupling (by others).
13.) Install the system grates and secure each grate to the frame crossbars with
grate lockdown bolts. Hex bolt lockdowns should be installed with a flat
washer.
