ASSEMBLY AND

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure the 6 in. PVC Pipe is cut

squarely on both ends and to correct length (10 ft.). Any rough edges should be smoothed with a file.

2. Before cementing the end caps in place, be sure to clean away any dirt, grease or moisture from both ends of the PVC pipe.

3. Use a plastic primer to remove surface gloss from pipe ends and inside flanges of end caps.

NOTE: Keep the door End Cap open during priming, gluing and curing steps to prevent possibility of sealing the door shut.

4. Assemble Rear End Cap to PVC pipe. Apply a thin coat of Plastic Cement to the inside flange of the end cap...then quickly apply a liberal cement coat around the outside of the PVC pipe.

5. While the cement is still wet, push the End Cap onto the PVC pipe with a slight turning motion until it is fully seated on the pipe.

NOTE: Keep pressure on the end cap for approximately 30 seconds for a good seal.

6. To assemble the Front Cap to the PVC pipe, repeat steps 4 and 5, making sure the Triangular Tab lines up with the center of the hinge pin on the rear end cap (

see Figure 1.

Allow at least 15 minutes for cement cure time before handling, and we strongly suggest a 24 hour full-cure time before loading any materials. If assembled Conduit Carrier is used before the 24 hour cure time, the material in the conduit carrier could push the end caps out and spillage of material could occur causing serious injury to persons and property.

7. Place the Conduit Carrier in position

on your ladder rack. Install the "U" Clamps and Clamp Brackets (
