Leave a 3mm gap between lid lengths to allow for thermal expansion of the lids. It ismore

common to fix lids onto troughs in a ‘stretcher bond’ rather than ‘stack bond’ pattern. The overlap

8Maintenance

ARCOsystem composite troughs and lids are manufactured from glass reinforced unsaturated

polyester. Contained within the resin is a UV inhibitor, which prevents sunlight yellowing and

degradationof the resin.Also, encasing theglass reinforcementwithin theprofile is a synthetic veil,

whichadds furtherprotection to theprofile. The result is aUVprotected,water resistant composite

troughandlidthatismaintenancefree,andwillprovideover50yearsservice.

Duringthe layingofthecablesortheclosingoftheGRP-lid it isrecommendedtochecktroughs, lids,

headsandSigmaPosts 100 foranyvisibledamage.Screwconnectionsshouldnotbeover tightened.
