3.2.5 2 Where Plastic conduits are encased in concrete ,

(such as in duct banks between ba4Wara), the ,

I

~

conduits shall be anchored with preformed plastic spacers prior to concrete placement. The con- ,

duits and spacers shall be located as shown on design drawings. ,

3.2.5 3 Plastic conduit may be cut with a hacksaw. After cutting, ends shall be trimmed and rough edges I smoothed. Area to be solvent velded (outside of conduit and inside of coupling or fitting) shall be free from dust, dirt, grease, and moisture, Use methyl ethyl ketone (!EK) for cleaning.

' Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) solvent shall be brushed

.- liberally on the end of the conduit and inside the g fitting or coupling when making a joint. After 3 fitting has been pushed on, it should be twisted one-fourth turn to spread the solvent evenly. ,

Continue to hold joint for 15 seconds so that I 3 2.5.4 conduit does not push out of fitting.

Bends for nonmetallic conduit are usually pur-I chased as required for the conduit system, but for special cases may be made in the field. Extreme caution should be observed when any source of heat is near plastic conduit. Field bending can be i

I accomplished by the use of a " hot air-cold air" blower; a hand-type dryer is recommended by the ,

4 manufacturers.

3 2.6 Flexible conduit '

l Flexible conduit, as previously described in~section 2.3, l

shall be installed in lengths not exceeding- 6 feet, except .

as noted on design drawings, to connect the rigid conduit system to all motor, valve, and other equipment conduit I boxes where flexible connections are required. It shall also be used for connecting flush and recessed lighting fixtures to rigid conduit systems when so indicated on design drawings.

Unless otherwise noted on the design drawings, an 18-inch I minimum length of ~ flexible conduit (exposed between coup-lings) shall be used to connect rigid conduit to the top of all seismically qualified Class 1E electrical boards i and panels which are not mounted on walls. Where physical I limitations prevent the installation of the 18-inch min-imum length of flexible conduit, the cognizant engineer shall be notified for resolution (by established procedures) ~i,I!

  • 3.2.6 Flexible Conduit y I Exposed flexible conduit that connects embedded conduit in a concrett slab to the bottom of Class lE .equipsest that has rigid seismic supports may be less than an 18-inch le gth but should be I as long as practicable to allow for displacement of equipment.

during an earthquake.

I Flexible conduit lengths shall be installed as sear the Class lE equipment as practicable.

Conduit connections to cable trays should be avsided; however, if conduit is connected to cable trays in a seismidally qualified structure, an 18-inch minimum length of flexible conduit (exposed between couplings), unless otherwise noted on the design drawings, shall be used. ,

3.3 Conduit Boxes 3 3.1 General 3.3.1.1 Where large boxes are embedded, they nhall be properly I braced on the inside so that concrete placement vill not deflect them. Threaded holes in box frames shall be protected from injury.

3.3.1.2 outlet boxes in architectural tile or masonry unit valls shall be installed strictly in hecordance with .

design drawings and for best appearance.

3.3.1.3 Where water-tight conduit connections to junction boxes without threaded hubs or bosses are rdquired (see I elect-rical standard drawing SD-E13.6 5), Appleton type HUB conduit hubs, or equivalent, may be used in place of velded hubs.

33.1.14 ' Exposed noncurrent-carrying metal parts of fixed equip-ment and boxes shall be grounded. Equipment not secured to, and in metallic contact with, grotnded structural I. steel shall be connected to the grounding system, when indicated on the detailed design drawings, by braz,ing the grounding cable to the equipment and then carefully

, coating the joint with asphaltum, or equivalent.

3.3.1 5 For general information concerning boxes, see electrical standard drawing 8D-E13.6.3.

Rev. O C. Grounds

1. Conduit shall be grounded at least once by one of the following:
a. Securing to building steel of embedded plate;
b. Securing to a grounded conduit support;
c. Securing to a grounded junction box;
d. Use of U-bolt grounding clamps, grounding straps, or grounding /

bushing secured to a ground conductor.

2. Conduit boxes shall be grounded at least once by one of the following:
a. Securing to a building steel or embedded plate;
b. Securing to a grounded conduit (If a conduit is .tsed to ground a conduit box, the box shall not be used as a ground for any of I the other conduits terminatins in it);

Using a Kearney stud connector or compression lug, and bolting c.

an external ground to the box.

NorE: Cable tray grounds may be used as a grounding connection when no other means are available.

D. Conduit Fittings ,

No threadless fittings shall be used in a conduit run in a seismic Class I building. ,

E. Flexible Conduit Installation

1. The flexible conduit portion of an exposed conduit run shall be f

installed and supported in accordance with the requirements of drawing h7A056-89

2. The end points of flexible conduit may be left free to facilitate cable pulling activities. Proper termination of the flexible conduit shall be verified after the cable is pulled.

F. Burrs and Sharp Edges Conduit and conduit boxes shall be free from burrs, cuts, sharp edges, rough surfaces, or any other defects that may be detrimental to the cable I jacket.

G. Physical Separation Conduit and conduit boxes shall conform to the physical spearation require-ments specified on EN DES dravings.

H. Conduit Hangers

1. In seismic Class I building, hangers shan be spaced as fonovs:

5 ft. (max.) - 1 ft. (min.) for 3/4" and under i 10 ft. (max. ) - 1 ft. (min. ) for 1" and above l

2. Four inch or sman er 1-hole pipe straps and k-fneh or smaner conduit boxes, shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of -
i drawings h7A056-2 and -76 respectively. Inspection shan be ae-ccmplished with the related conduit and documented by the inspector's 4 signature and date on the inspection sheet.
3. In non-seismic areas, conduit supports shan be spaced in accordance with tha Nationel Electric Code (NEC) and documented by the inspector's signature and date on the inspection sheet.

I. Termination

1. Conduit terminating in a conduit box or cabinet that do not have treaded hubs or bosses shall be secured using a locknut and a bushing I on the inside and a locknut on the outside. In vet incations conduit huba may be used.

NOTE: If there is insufficient space for bushing installation, con-duit ends may be rounded to approximately 1/16 inch radius.

I 2. A bushing or chase nipple shan be installed when a conduit termin-ntes beneath a cabinet.or board.

Documentation Conditions encountered that were not anticipated and any NCR's, FCR's, design deviations,

! etc. shall be recorded in the " Remarks" section of the inspection sheet. This inspection shall be documented on the inspection sheet as shown on Attachment A or by signature in the work instructions of the workplan.

The identification of the conduit boxes included in this inspection shan be re-corded in the " Remarks" section of the inspection sheet or near the signoff in the work instructions.
