J. Connect new work to existing work in a manner that will assure proper raceway grounding throughout in conformance with the National Electrical Code.

K. Removed conduits, wire, devices, fixtures, etc. is the property of the Contractor unless otherwise noted.

L. Panelboards: Replace circuit breakers damaged during construction and provide clo-sure plates for vacant positions. Provide typed circuit directory showing revised cir-cuiting arrangement.

3.2 CUTTING AND PATCHING

A. Cut, channel, chase, and drill floors, walls, partitions, ceilings, and other surfaces required to permit electrical installations. Perform cutting by skilled mechanics of trades involved.

3.5 RACEWAY INSTALLATION

A. Install raceways in accordance with NECA “Standard of Installation” and manufacturer’s recommendations.

B. Route exposed raceways parallel and perpendicular to walls.

C. Conceal raceways and cables, unless otherwise indicated, within finished walls, ceilings, and floors.

D. Run raceway plumb, level, and in a direct line, with long sweeping bends and offsets.

Make changes in direction of raceway with symmetrical bends or metal fittings.

E. Keep legs of raceway bends in the same plane and keep straight legs of offsets parallel.

F. Maintain 12-inch clearance between conduit and surfaces with temperatures exceeding 1040F.

G. Use conduit hubs or sealing locknuts to fasten conduit to sheet metal boxes and cast boxes in damp and wet locations.

H. Install no more than equivalent of four 90-degree bends between boxes. Use conduit bodies to make sharp changes in direction.

I. Seal wall and roof penetrations weathertight.

J. Grout around conduit tie-ins entering building walls. Where conduit enters buildings, seal openings with duct seal to prevent circulation of air or moisture.

3.6 WIRE AND CABLE METHODS

A. Conductor Size:
