Description
You don't need to climb underneath your large-diameter bins to fill 5-gallon buckets. The task is made simple and easy with this bolt-on, side-mounted grain bin slide valve. It even has a notch to hold the handle of the 5-gallon bucket out of the way while it's being filled. The installation is straightforward, as you cut a hole in the bottom Taper Hopper section of your bin and bolt the slide valve directly to it. This kit comes with all the necessary mounting hardware as well as ceiling strips to keep water at bay.
Eliminate the backbreaking effort of sliding a bucket in and out from under your bin with this bulk grain bin slide valve from Barn World.
This is the template for mounting the Side-mounted Hopper Valve to your bin and is for the TEMPLATE ONLY. It shows where the holes should be drilled to make attaching it quick and easy!

IMPORTANT: Do not use a grinding wheel, as it will melt the galvanizing. Do not put your arm in the bin. Any collapsing material may cause serious injury. The Hopper valve should be mounted no higher than midway up the hopper.
