Step Five // Install Lacing System

1. Using a lacing board to open the hole in the cross seam of the four plates, and opening the hole with an electric drill.

2. Using the pull bolts to fix the internal lacing boards first. To connect the crossed lacings after all the lacing boards are fixed.

3. After the internal lacing plates are completed, fixing the external lacing plates. Four screws on the external lacing plate should be tightened with a hand wrench.

Step Six // Install the cover plate

The cover plate should be screwed into one piece and do not need strips for it. When finished, to lift it to the top of the tank and link with the side panels.

Step Seven // Installation flange

1. According to the customers' requirements, identifying the installation location. Using the flange tube to make the hole position accurately.

2. Opening the hole with a power drill and putting a rubber strip on the flange screw, smearing some glass cement on the flange pipe, and then fix it with screws.
