INSTALL THE PVC CONDUIT FOR MAIN COVER ENDS 

 

For some covers, the PVC conduit is inserted into a pocket 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.

PVC conduits installed near the ends of the main cover provide an additional 

tie-down position. Complete these steps to install the conduit and strapping for 

the stretch pockets of the main cover. 

Take the first section of PVC conduit and feed it into the stretch pocket from 

1. 

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 a similar cover and 

the location of the stretch pocket.  

 

Cover is shown with the underside 

facing up, which is the side visible 

from inside the frame when the 

cover is installed.

For some covers, the notched 

portion of the stretched pocket 

is removed in the field by the 

customer.

stretch pocket and the 

installed PVC conduit at the

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 slots approximately 

24" apart (on-center) if 

these need created.
