OC Sportsplex Pool HVAC Unit Replacement <br />PDC Project 23022 Conduit for Electrical Systems 26 05 33.13 - 5 <br />be made on a forming tool to prevent the conduit or its coating from being damaged in the <br />bending. <br />D.Install galvanized steel rigid metal conduit (RMC)in accordance with NECA 101. <br />E.Install intermediate metal conduit (IMC)in accordance with NECA 101. <br />F.Conduit Routing: <br />1.Unless dimensioned,conduit routing indicated is diagrammatic. <br />2.Conceal all conduits unless specifically indicated to be exposed. <br />3.Conduits in the following areas may be exposed,unless otherwise indicated: <br />a.Electrical rooms. <br />b.Mechanical equipment rooms. <br />4.Arrange conduit to maintain maximum headroom,clearances,and access. <br />5.Arrange conduit to provide no more than the equivalent of four 90 degree bends between pull <br />points. <br />6.Arrange conduit to provide no more than 100 feet between pull points. <br />7.In every instance,conduit shall be installed in such a manner that the conductors may readily <br />and easily be drawn or pulled in without strain or damage to the insulation;and,also,so that <br />defective conductors may be readily and easily withdrawn and replaced by new conductors. <br /> Long radius bends and a sufficient number of approved pull and junction boxes shall be <br />approved for this purpose,and as may be directed by the Engineer. All conduit shall be <br />securely supported and grounded. <br />8.Arrange conduit to prevent moisture traps.Provide drain fittings at low points and at sealing <br />fittings where moisture may collect. <br />9.Where conduits join any couplings or threaded fittings,the ends shall be made watertight. <br />10.Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches between conduits and hot surfaces.This includes, <br />but is not limited to: <br />G.Conduit Support: <br />1.Provide all required hangers,supports,anchors,fasteners,fittings,accessories,and <br />hardware as necessary for the complete installation of electrical work. <br />2.Secure and support conduits in accordance with NFPA 70 and Section 26 05 29 using <br />suitable supports and methods approved by the authority having jurisdiction. <br />3.Provide independent support from building structure.Do not provide support from piping, <br />ductwork,or other systems. <br />4.Installation Above Suspended Ceilings: Do not provide support from ceiling support system. <br />Do not provide support from ceiling grid or allow conduits to lay on ceiling tiles. <br />5.Use conduit strap to support single surface-mounted conduit. <br />a.Use clamp back spacer with conduit strap for damp and wet locations to provide space <br />between conduit and mounting surface. <br />6.Use metal channel (strut)with accessory conduit clamps to support multiple parallel surface- <br />mounted conduits. <br />7.Use conduit clamp to support single conduit from beam clamp or threaded rod. <br />8.Use trapeze hangers assembled from threaded rods and metal channel (strut)with accessory <br />conduit clamps to support multiple parallel suspended conduits. <br />9.Steel Components: Use corrosion resistant materials suitable for the environment where <br />installed. <br />a.Indoor Dry Locations: Use zinc-plated steel or approved equivalent unless otherwise <br />indicated. <br />b.Outdoor and Damp or Wet Indoor Locations: Use galvanized steel,stainless steel,or <br />approved equivalent unless otherwise indicated. <br />c.Zinc-Plated Steel: Electroplated in accordance with ASTM B633. <br />d.Galvanized Steel: Hot-dip galvanized after fabrication in accordance with ASTM <br />A123/A123M or ASTM A153/A153M. <br />10.Metal Channel (Strut)Framing Systems: Factory-fabricated continuous-slot metal channel <br />(strut)and associated fittings,accessories,and hardware required for field-assembly of <br />supports. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: D4F3B98E-0756-4A0C-A3AD-05AA32D39F1C
