G. Install each 3-phase circuit in a separate conduit unless otherwise shown on the Drawings.
H. Conduit routing, layouts, or “home runs” shown on the Drawings are not intended to show the number of fittings or other installation details. Furnish all labor and materials necessary to install and place in satisfactory operation all power, lighting and other electrical systems shown.
I. Verify the exact locations and mounting heights of lighting fixtures, switches and receptacles prior to installation.
J. Number and size of wires which shall be installed in runs of conduit where not shown on the Drawings shall be determined from the single line diagram, schematics, connection, interconnection, and control diagrams of the actual equipment furnished.
K. Raceways and conductors for lighting, switches, receptacles and other miscellaneous low-voltage power and signal systems specified are not shown on the Drawings.
Raceways and conductors shall be provided as required for a complete and operating system.
1. Home runs, as shown on the Drawings, are to assist the Contractor in identifying raceways to be run exposed and raceways to be run concealed.
2. Raceways shall be installed concealed in all finished spaces or above suspended ceilings unless otherwise noted. Raceways may be installed exposed or concealed in all process spaces.
3. Raceways installed exposed shall be routed near the ceiling or along walls of the areas through which they pass and shall be routed to avoid conflicts with HVAC ducts, cranes, hoists, monorails, equipment hatches, doors, windows, and other similar equipment.
L. Modifications or Substitution of Equipment
1. Where a specific material or equipment is listed in the Specifications or on the Drawings, it is understood and construed as meaning to indicate a standard of quality.
