Impact Resistance

Lid Fixation

Impact resistant, dramatically reduces breakage

Green Trough reliably prevents lid movement

Free fall from 1.5 m.

Lid attached with buckles

(2 buckles/lid).

Lid cannot be moved by

The gap between the lids absorbs expansion.

The part that landed first was scratched, but
poses no problem for practical use.

Durability

Flame Resistance

Resistant to salt water, snow-melting agents and

acid rain, reducing the need for replacement

Green Trough can be used in railway tunnels due to its

flame resistance and self-extinguishing characteristics

Corrosion resistance test

Flame resistance and self-extinguishing characteristics

In the test that complies with JIS K 7114, the trough is placed in the applicable
chemical for seven days at room temperature and the change in mass is measured.

No deterioration after three years.

Joint

Processing

The male/female joint structure and the pan/tilt

function give flexible options when put into use

Easy to cut, drill holes in and process Green Trough on-site

Green Trough can be used in a

variety of ways on-site

Joint

Make a hole using a hole saw

Bending

Adjust the length of a trough on-site

(* Please take note that this is not possible with some sizes.)

For joining with another trough, there is a

male and a female connector at either end
of the trough. No need for joint grouting.

Bending angle of 2 to 5 degrees.

Smallest radius of 13 to 15 m.
*Varies depending on the size.

Cut a trough along its rib using a

round saw or hand saw.

The pan/tilt function makes laying troughs on uneven

surfaces easier.

Cut off the legs from the ends.

Single-action band type WGRT- -WB

Inscription type

Up to 10 characters in red can be inscribed on the

trough lid.

Single-action band type troughs are for installation at

locations where there is little space between the troughs (one
band/trough). This is ideal when laying the troughs parallel.

Anchor fixed type WGRT- -A

Multiple hole type Two-hole type WGRT- -FH2

Three-hole type WGRT- -FH3

Four-hole type WGRT- -FH4

Separator

This type of trough has a hole for anchor fastening

(one hole/trough). This is ideal for attaching the
trough to a concrete surface.

This type of trough is divided inside by nonflammable

separators.
