The initial step is to create an area for discharge on the ground floor with a floor support angle. It is placed over the floor to ensure that the intake doors are parallel to their cross members.
A first intake section is put into the opening. Next, the supporting rings can be recognized and supported. Seal the chute after you’ve placed the intake section. To seal the area, place the bent end in the intake section.
Now you can install the chute plate. The flexible hose connects to the chute vent above the roof. Secure the vent body and attach the assembly to the roof. Attach counter flashing to your vent pipe.
Now you have a vertical chute. It’s now time to connect your electrical cables, level the intake door, and then plumb.
In the discharge room, complete the installation. The discharge sleeve should be attached using bolts or nuts. Next, attach the angle clips to the discharge sleeve. Similar to the previous step, secure the discharge to the sleeve.
Now connect the fusible to the angle clip at the bottom.
A garbage chute can contain different metals as well as plastics. Aluminum is used widely as a garbage chute material because of its lightweight and corrosion resistance. Aluminum alloys are extruded cold finished and cast aluminum.
To resist corrosion, steel garbage chutes also have coatings made of aluminum and other materials. High-density, polyethene is another material that can withstand extreme environmental conditions.
