Orange County Health Department Improvements Smith Sinnett /2024008 Hillsborough,NC Orange County Asset Management Services CONDUIT FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS 26 05 33.13 - 5 4.Installation Above Suspended Ceilings: Do not provide support from ceiling support system.Do not provide support from ceiling grid or allow conduits to lay on ceiling tiles. 5.Use conduit strap to support single surface-mounted conduit. a.Use clamp back spacer with conduit strap for damp and wet locations to provide space between conduit and mounting surface. 6.Use metal channel (strut)with accessory conduit clamps to support multiple parallel surface-mounted conduits. 7.Use conduit clamp to support single conduit from beam clamp or threaded rod. 8.Use trapeze hangers assembled from threaded rods and metal channel (strut)with accessory conduit clamps to support multiple parallel suspended conduits. 9.Steel Components: Use corrosion resistant materials suitable for the environment where installed. a.Indoor Dry Locations: Use zinc-plated steel or approved equivalent unless otherwise indicated. b.Outdoor and Damp or Wet Indoor Locations: Use galvanized steel,stainless steel,or approved equivalent unless otherwise indicated. c.Zinc-Plated Steel: Electroplated in accordance with ASTM B633. d.Galvanized Steel: Hot-dip galvanized after fabrication in accordance with ASTM A123/A123M or ASTM A153/A153M. 10.Metal Channel (Strut)Framing Systems: Factory-fabricated continuous-slot metal channel (strut)and associated fittings,accessories,and hardware required for field-assembly of supports. a.Minimum Channel Thickness: Steel sheet,12 gage,0.1046 inch. b.Minimum Channel Dimensions: 1-5/8 inch width by 13/16 inch height. I Connections and Terminations: 1.Use approved zinc-rich paint or conduit joint compound on field-cut threads of galvanized steel conduits prior to making connections. 2.Where two threaded conduits must be joined and neither can be rotated,use three-piece couplings or split couplings.Do not use running threads. 3.Use suitable adapters where required to transition from one type of conduit to another. 4.Terminate threaded conduits in boxes and enclosures using threaded hubs or double lock nuts for dry locations and raintight hubs for wet locations. 5.Provide insulating bushings or insulated throats at all conduit terminations to protect conductors. 6.Secure joints and connections to provide maximum mechanical strength and electrical continuity. 7.Condulet fittings shall not be used in lieu of pull boxes. J Penetrations: 1.Do not penetrate or otherwise notch or cut structural members,including footings and grade beams. 2.Make penetrations perpendicular to surfaces unless otherwise indicated. 3.Where conduits penetrate waterproof membrane,seal as required to maintain integrity of membrane. a.All raceway penetrating exterior walls or other water proof membranes shall slope away from the building with a minimum slope of 4"over 100 feet. 4.Make penetrations for roof-mounted equipment within associated equipment openings and curbs where possible to minimize roofing system penetrations.Where penetrations are necessary,seal as required to preserve integrity of roofing system and maintain roof warranty. 5.Install firestopping to preserve fire resistance rating of partitions and other elements.Refer to penetration details on plans. 6.Where conduits cross building expansion joints or pass between areas with a temperature difference of 14 degrees C,provide expansion fittings on all raceway. K Conduit Movement Provisions: Where conduits are subject to movement,provide expansion and expansion/deflection fittings to prevent damage to enclosed conductors or connected equipment.This includes,but is not limited to: 1.Where conduits cross structural joints intended for expansion,contraction,or deflection.
