Balanced Design The Model 101G has been re- designed and improved over the years to make it one of the most reliable and durable gates in iis class, Its heavy cast iron seat and slide are machined to a close tol- erance on seating faces to give precision contiol. The heavy gal- vanized angie iron frame and head angle resist corrosion re- sulting in tonger gate fife. They also resist damage when a long length of two by four or other "cheater" is inserted in the hand- whee! to apply exira pressure in ‘opening or closing the gate. Although this is not the most economical construction from an Initial cost standpoint, Armeo’s 70 years of experience a8 @ turnout gate manufacturer has proven that fong years of service with Minimum maintenance is impor- tant to our customers. Lighter frame angles with paint instead of the galvanizing may slightly re- duce the cost of manufacture but greatly shorten the useful life of the gate.

Fabri- cated slots are provided with removable braces along their out- side edge to insure that they ‘won't be deformed during place- ment of conerele, After the concrete is poured, only minor adjusiments in the alignment of the rails by inserting or removing shims should be required ‘The fabricated roller slot should include acorrosion esistant steel contact face for ine rubber side seals, The stainless steel face inr- roves the quality of the gate in Stallation and will prolong the life of the seal, It should be included 4 an item in the specifications. Cestin-place roller slots must be formed by building the slots into the forms prior to placing the conerete. Anchor balts must be set into the forms in their correct, location for attaching of tne rails. ‘The metal contact surface for the rubber seal, usuelly an angle. must be secured in tne forms and held straight and parallel. Overait slots must be parallel with each other in both directions, After the concrete is poured and the forms are siripped, then rails must be placed in position between anchors, snimined to the correct alignment and held in place by rail clips and nuts on anchors, ADJUSTABLE BOTTOM SILL~ ro insure sealing af the Dottom corners and provide a precise level botiom seat surtace for the rubber seal, an adjustable bottom siff plate is suggested. The ex- posed, or top surface of this sill plate is usually made of corrosion resistant steel. Anchors placed in the original pour of concrete are provided with double nuts to level the sill and align t perpendicular othe roller slots. Alter the gate is, in place and the cantact beween the sill and the bottom seat has been checked, the sill is grouted in place. Operation of Roller Gates As with sluice or slige gates. the coller gale is usually moves in the verlical plane ulilizing a geared lilt, The lift can be either hand or electrically actuated de- pending upon the gate size and the Irequency of its operation, Since the water pressure acting ‘against the gate lea! is trans. letred through the rollers to the rails, the hiftis sclected on the ba: sig of rolling rather than sliding friction, Consequenily, the lilt load is less than required for other types of gates, See Section Gol Armeos Waler Conirol Gate catalog for additional information ons Irietion factors, When properly installed, there is close tolerance between head of the rail and flanges on the roll- #5 on each side of the gale open: ing. This causes the gale to be moved vertically and allows only a very smali deviation from move ment in the vertical direction. As long as the width of the gate does, not excees twice its vertical height, one it can be success- fully utilizes.
