INSTALL THE PVC CONDUIT FOR MAIN COVER ENDS
Complete this section if the building is longer than 48'.
The PVC conduit is inserted into notched pockets at each
end of the main cover. Strapping is then threaded around
the conduit and the end rafters. This strapping is evenly
tightened to stretch the main cover end-to-end.
Required parts and tools:
• LJ2842 (3/4" PVC conduit) and 103620E (1" strap)
• Duct tape, Tek screws, and driver for Tek screws
• Tool to cut strap, a lift or ladders to reach top of frame,
and assistants to install and tighten strap
Photo shows the stretch pocket and the conduit and
strapping as installed for a similar main cover. View shows

PVC conduits are installed near the ends of the main cover
to provide an additional tie-down position. Complete these
steps to install the conduit and strapping for the stretch
pockets of the main cover.
1. Take the first section of PVC conduit and feed it into the
stretch pocket from the bottom at one end of the cover.
Insert the plain end of the conduit into the pocket so the
next section can be joined to the first.
