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.
