Conduit must be continuous, reasonably dry, completely free of debris, and without sharp projections, edges, or short bends. If required by the Inspector, the Contractor shall demonstrat; that the conduit is dry and free of debris by pulling a swab and/or mandrel through the conduit. The conductors shall be installed in a manner so as to insure against harmful stretching of the conductors or damage to the insulation. _ Installation methods shall conform to the recommendations of the cable manufacturer. The Contractor shall furnish, at the request of the Traffic Services Manager or designee a copy of the manufacturer's recommendations, which shall include methods of attaching pull cable, pulling tension per conductor size and per radius of conduit bend,and the type of lubricant to be used. (B) All cables in a given conduit run shall be pulled at the same-time and the conductors shall be assembled to form one loop in such a manner that the pulling tension is equally distributed to all the cables. Long, hard pulls will necessitate the use of Traffic Signal Specifications—Part E May 2007 City of Fort Worth Page 23 pulling eyes. For short runs, the cables may be gripped directly by the conductors by forming them into a loop to which the pull wire or rope can be attached. The insulation on each conductor shall be removed before the loop is formed. The method used will depend on the anticipated maximum pulling tension in each case. _ (C) In existing conduit where new cables are to replace existing cables, the exit cables may be used to pull in the new cables. At locations where new cables are to be added to existing cable runs, the existing cables shall first be pulled out, the new cables are to be added to the existing cables to form one cable pull. Installation and removal shall be done in such a way as to prevent damage to the existing and/or new cables. In the event of damage, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of providing the material and labor for replacement of defective cables at no extra cost to the City. (D) All conduit runs shall be measured accurately and precisely for determining cable lengths to be installed. A conduit nun measurements shall take nla .Pin the n seance. of the Inspertor_ The Inspector shall record all cable measurements and include the distances on an as-built drawing.

However, this does not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to record accurate measurements of all w cable lengths. (E) The manufacturer's recommended maximum pulling tensions shall not be exceeded under any circumstances. If so required by the Inspector,the Contractor shall insert a dynamometer in the pull wire as the cables are being pulled into the conduit to demonstrate that the maximum tensions are not being exceeded. The cable shall be fed freely off the reel into the conduit without making a reverse curve. At the pulling end, the pull wire and cables shall be drawn from the conduit in direct line with the conduit. Sheaves or other suitable devices shall be used as required to reduce any hazards to the cable during installation. The cables shall be adequately lubricated to reduce friction and further minimize possible damage. Such lubricants shall not be the grease or oil type used on lead sheathed cables, but shall be one of several commercially available wire pulling compounds that are suitable for PVC sheathed cables. They shall consist of soap, talc, mica, or similar materials and shall be designed to have no deleterious effect on the cables being used. (F) Cables shall be neatly trained to their destinations. The Contractor shall adhere to the cable manufacturer's recommended values for the minimum bending radii to which cables may be bent for permanent training during installation. These limits do not apply to conduit bends, sheaves, or other curved surfaces around which these cables may be pulled under tension while being installed. Larger radius bends are required for such conditions. 3.3.2 Wire and Cable (A) All wire and cable shall conform to the requirements shown in the plans, except wire and cable specifically covered by other items of this contract. . 3.3.3 Controller Cabinet Wiring TM Traffic Signal Specifications—Part E May 2007 City of Fort Worth Page 24 (A) Wiring for the controller cabinet shall consist of connecting (1) signal wires, (2) loop detector wires, (3) power wires, (4) ground wires, and (5) pedestrian push but�on wires to their respective terminals in the cabinet.
