2.4.6.1Procedures for installation of conduit and tower wiring

1.All conduit, junction boxes, mounting hardware, fixtures, etc. provided for installation of the electrical system (i.e. lighting or equipment power distribution) should be inventoried and checked against the appropriate bills of materials.

(a)Conduit and junction box components provided for electrical systems should be checked against appropriate bills of materials to ensure all are present and of proper size.

(b)Numbers of wires to be carried by each conduit run should be checked against National Electrical Code. Honeywell sizes the conduit run for a 40% fill of the conduit by the NEC.

2.Use pipe compound or equivalent for all threaded connections in the conduit run. This will prevent water from entering the conduit system and make an electrical connection between the conduit and ground.

3.All custom cut pieces of conduit must be de-burred after they are threaded to remove sharp edges that may cut wiring insulation. Honeywell supplies conduit in 10-foot lengths, therefore cutting and threading of the conduit may be necessary.

4.Insure that “chase nipples” or bushings are properly installed in all junction box ports to protect the wiring insulation from pipe threads and other sharp edges in
