<p>A buckstay system (32) of an associated furnace (10) having a combustion cavity (12) with a front waterwall (11), a rear waterwall (11), and opposed left and right side waterwalls (11) joining the front and rear waterwalls (11) and where the waterwalls (11) are arranged in a generally square pattern about the cavity (12). The cavity (12) has four corners and each buckstay (32) an attachment module (36, 36a) welded to each end, each attachment module (36, 36a) including first and second planar plates (36, 36a). The first and second planar plates (36, 36a) are disposed in side abutting relationship to the web (38) of the buckstay (32) and extend beyond the end of the buckstay (32); each of the first and second plates (36, 36a) has coaxial pivot holes (40) disposed in a part thereof that extends beyond the end of the buckstay (32). The planar plates (36, 36a) in the attachment module (36, 36a) may be rectangular, or have a notch or recess (40) for clearance. A spacer (44) may be disposed intermediate the planar plates (36, 36a)in the attachment module (36, 36a) and the spacer (44) may have a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the web (38) of the buckstay (32) for which the attachement module (36, 36a) is intended.</p> |
