3/8 in. (10mm) gap
Planning
For planning the layout, measure the perimeter of the building
and divide by 8 ft. (2.44m) to determine the required quantity
of Tetra Contour LS systems. See table below for guidelines
about cutting resolution. For seamless designs, accessories are
available for straight runs and 90 degree corners.
NOTE:
Do not use more than one suffix code for each respective
application, as mixing suffix codes may result in appearance
variation. Suffix code can be found on the packaging label.
CAUTION
Risk of damage. Must use electrical grade silicone.

If it is necessary to cut the Tetra Contour LS for a better fit,

Starting from one end, attach the Tetra Contour LS to the
mounting clips. Secure light guide by twisting tie-wire
around the mounting clip and light guide.
NOTE:
Wires can be concealed by tucking wires between
mounting clips and Tetra Contour LS system.
Install one mounting clip at each end and then a minimum
of one mounting clip every 18 inches (457mm).
NOTE:
Standard neon mounting hardware can also be used.
NOTE:
Tetra Contour LS is intended for straight runs.
Continue attaching all the sections to the remaining
mounting clips, leaving a 3/8 inch (10mm) gap between
sections to allow for expansion or contraction.
