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
then 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
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.
Photo shows the notched stretch pocket and
the installed PVC conduit at the end of a similar
main cover.
Notched Stretch Pocket
NOTE:
Some covers
may not ship with the
pocket material removed
for the installation of the
straps. If slots need to
be created, cut only the
cover pocket;
do not cut
the main cover
.
Space slot 18" to 24"
apart on-center if these
need created.
PVC Conduit
2. Once the bell end reaches the pocket, take another section of PVC conduit, insert the plain end into the
bell end of the previous section and secure the joint using a Tek screw or customer-supplied PVC glue.
NOTE:
If a Tek screw was used, wrap the Tek screw and joint with duct tape. (PVC glue works best.)
3. Repeat the steps and continue to assemble and feed the PVC conduit into the pocket.
4. Once the PVC conduit is fully assembled, secured at the joints, and inserted into the pocket, repeat the
steps for the remaining end of the main cover.
5. With both PVC conduits assembled and installed, verify that the cover is centered on the frame (side-to-
side and end-to-end) and move to one end rafter.
