Conduits less than 3/4" shall not be used unless specified otherwise. B. Install the conduit at elevations which maintain headroom and at locations which avoid interference with other work requiring grading of pipe, the structure, finished ceiling, walls, etc. Avoid crossing other work. Do not place the conduits in close proximity to equipment, systems and service lines, such as the hot water supply and return lines or steam pipes which could be detrimental to the conduit and its contents. Maintain a minimum of 3" separation, except in crossing,which shall be a minimum of V. C. Prevent displacement by securely supporting the conduit which is to be concealed and installed in advance of other work. Carefully layout all conduit installed within the structure, such as in floors,beams and walls to avoid densities excessive for the F0 construction. D. Cut the conduit square with a saw. Ream, deburr and swab the inside of the conduit before installing the conductors. Make bends and offsets in 1" and smaller conduit with approved bending devices. Use a hydraulic, one-shot conduit bender or factory elbows for bends in conduit larger than V. Use conduit bodies to make sharp changes in direction around ground beams. Install no more than four(4) 90 degree bends between boxes. E. Where space conditions prohibit the use of standard elbows, use cast ferrous alloy fittings to match the conduit construction. "Condulet" type fittings shall not be used on conduit containing#4 or larger wire. F. Make conduit joints mechanically tight and electrically continuous.

Combination expansion/deflection fittings shall be installed on conduits which are concealed when they cross expansion joints. Route conduit through roof openings for piping and ductwork where possible; otherwise,route through the roof with pitch pocket. Do not allow conduit to penetrate duct work. Do not install conduit exposed on the roof without prior permission from the Engineer. Conduits 16111-4 FTW99425 I. Connect motors, equipment containing motors, equipment mounted on isolated foundations, light fixtures and other equipment and devices which are subject to vibration and which require adjustment with a liquid-tight, flexible metallic conduit from the device to the conduit serving it. The maximum length of the flexible conduit shall be 3011, unless specifically instructed otherwise by the Engineer in writing. J. Install escutcheons on exposed conduits passing through interior floors,walls and ceiling. Install fire seals on conduit passing through fire-rated partitions, floors and ceilings. Install through-wall seals on conduit passing through exterior walls, or use standard,galvanized steel pipe sleeves with diameters 1/2" greater than the outside diameter of the sleeved conduit. Fill the annular space with oakum and the ends of the sleeve with fire-resistant compound. K. Install a sleeve for the conduit passing through the interior floors and insulated throat grounding bushings on conduit which is stubbed through slabs and foundations into electrical enclosures. L. Provide grounding for conduit, fittings and accessories. M. Use PVC coated, rigid steel,factory elbows for bends in PVC conduit runs which are longer than 100', or in PVC runs which have more that two bends, regardless of their length. N. Use double locknut construction on conduit which terminates at electrical enclosures, pull boxes,motor terminal enclosures, etc.,with an approved bushing over the conduit. Increase the length of the conduit threads at outlets and junction boxes wherever necessary to accommodate double locknuts and bushings. Seat all bushings fully against the end of the conduit. O. Generally, conduit runs shall not be installed in concrete slabs, but shall be installed in cushion sand below slabs. Where specifically indicated to be cast into concrete, conduits shall be rigid steel and shall be located in the middle between top and bottom reinforcing. Maintain a minimum of 1-1/2" concrete cover at all locations. The maximum size of conduit permitted to be embedded in slabs is 1". Do not route conduit in a manner to cross each other. Conduit shall have a minimum spacing of 1-1/2" apart. Unless specifically indicated, conduits shall not be placed in slabs on grade. P. Use PVC coated, rigid metal conduit for all conduits penetrating slabs. Where PVC coated, rigid steel or aluminum conduit joins a dissimilar conduit, the fittings shall also be PVC coated. PVC conduit in slabs shall be protected from mechanical damage by extending PVC coated rigid metal conduit a minimum of 12" into the concrete at the transition. Q. Use suitable conduit caps to protect installed conduit against entry of dirt and moisture. Conduits 16111-5 FTW99425 R. Install empty conduits in or below-slabs so that a threaded fitting with PVC plug is placed on each conduit and is flush with the concrete or finished floor surface. 3.02 UNDERGROUND DUCT BANK INSTALLATION A.
