Remove appropriate amount of conductor insulation for making connections without cutting, <br /> nicking or damaging conductors. <br /> 3. Do not remove conductor strands to facilitate insertion into connector. <br /> 4. Clean contact surfaces on conductors and connectors to suitable remove corrosion, oxides, <br /> and other contaminates. Do not use wire brush on plated connector surfaces. <br /> 5. Mechanical Connectors: Secure connections according to manufacturer's recommended <br /> torque settings. <br /> 6. Compression Connectors: Secure connections using manufacturer's recommended tools and <br /> dies. <br /> M. Insulate splices and taps that are made with uninsulated connectors using methods suitable for the <br /> application, with insulation and mechanical strength at least equivalent to unspliced conductors. <br /> 1. Dry Locations: Use insulating covers specifically designed for the connectors, electrical tape, <br /> or heat shrink tubing. <br /> a. For taped connections, first apply adequate amount of rubber splicing electrical tape or <br /> electrical filler tape, followed by outer covering of vinyl insulating electrical tape. <br /> b. For taped connections likely to require re-entering, including motor leads, first apply <br /> varnished cambric electrical tape, followed by adequate amount of rubber splicing <br /> electrical tape, followed by outer covering of vinyl insulating electrical tape. <br /> 2. Damp Locations: Use insulating covers specifically designed for the connectors, electrical <br /> tape, or heat shrink tubing. <br /> a. For connections with insulating covers, apply outer covering of moisture sealing electrical <br /> tape. <br /> b. For taped connections, follow same procedure as for dry locations but apply outer <br /> covering of moisture sealing electrical tape. <br /> 3. Wet Locations: Use heat shrink tubing. <br /> N. Insulate ends of spare conductors using vinyl insulating electrical tape. <br /> O. Field-Applied Color Coding: Where vinyl color coding electrical tape is used in lieu of integrally <br /> colored insulation as permitted in Part 2 under"Color Coding", apply half overlapping turns of tape <br /> at each termination and at each location conductors are accessible. <br /> P. Identify conductors and cables in accordance with Section 26 05 53. <br /> Q. Install firestopping to preserve fire resistance rating of partitions and other elements, using <br /> materials and methods specified in Section 07 84 00. <br /> R. Unless specifically indicated to be excluded, provide final connections to all equipment and <br /> devices, including those furnished by others, as required for a complete operating system. <br /> 3.04 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL <br /> A. Inspect and test in accordance with NETA ATS, except Section 4. <br /> B. Perform inspections and tests listed in NETA ATS, Section 7.3.2. The insulation resistance test is <br /> required for all conductors. The resistance test for parallel conductors listed as optional is not <br /> required. <br /> C. Correct deficiencies and replace damaged or defective conductors and cables. <br /> END OF SECTION 26 05 19 <br /> PDC Project 18102 LOW-VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL 26 05 19- 7 <br /> 12/17/2018 POWER CONDUCTORS AND <br /> CABLES <br />
