considered as that of a straight conduit even if the conduit deflects through the straight by more than 15 .

25.1.4 Protection against dampness - In order to minimise condensation ro sweating inside the tube, all outlets of

conduit system shall be property drained and ventilated, but in such a manner as to prevent the entry of

insects as far as possible.

25.1.5 Protection of conduit against rust : The outer surface of the conduit pipes, including all bends, unions, tees

junction boxes, etc., forming part of the conduit system shall be adequately protected against rust particularly

25.2.2 Fixing of conduit in chase - The conduit pipe shall be fixed by means of staples or by means of saddles not

more than 60 cm. apart. Fixing of standard bends or elbows shall be avoided as far as practicable and all

curves maintained by bending the conduit pipe itself with a longe radius which will permit easy drawing in of

conductors. All theraded joints of rigid steel conduit shall be treated with some approved preservative

compund to secure protection against rust.

25.2.3 Inspection boxes - Suitable inspection boxes shall be provided to permit periodical inspection and to facilitate

removal of wires, if necessary. These shall be mounted flush with the wall. Suitable ventilating holes shall be

soften when heated, fitting of conduit in close proximity of hot suraces should be avoided. Caustion should be

exercised in the use of the conduit in locations where the ambient temperature is 500 C or above. Use of such

conduits in place where ambient temperature is 600 C or above is prohibited.

PVC INSULATED P.V.C. SHEATHED OR T.R.S. WIRING SYSTEM

This system of wiring, is suitable for low pressure installation, and shall not be used in places exposed to sun

and rain nor in damp places, provided they are sheathed in the special approved protective covering and well

protected to withstand dampness.

26.1 Attachment to walls and ceilling :

26.1.1 All cables on brick walls, stone or plastered walls ceiling shall be run on well seasoned, perfectly straight and

well varnished on four sides, teak wood or any approved hardwood battens not less than 10 mm finished thick,

width of which of which shall be such as to suit total width of cables laid on the betten, prior orerection, these

shall be painted with one coat of varnish or approved paint of colour to match with surrounding. These battens

shall be secured to wall and ceilings by flat head wood screws to raws plug or phill plug at an interval not

exceeding 75 cm. Wood plug can be used only with special approval of the Engineer-in-charge. The flat head

wood screws shall be counter within wood batten and smoothed down with file.

26.1.2 Where wiring is to be carried out along the face of the rolled steel joints,a wooden batten of adequate width

shall first be laid on the same and dipped to it as inconspicuously as possible. The wiring should then be fixed

to this backing in the ordinary way. Where wiring passes through structural steel work, the hole shall be

suitably bushed to prevent the abrasion of the cables.

26.1.3 Attachment to false ceiling : In no case, the open wiring shall be run above the false ceiling without the

approval of Engineer-in-charge.

with porcelain wood or other approved material. The conduit pipes, shall be security earthed.

26.6.0 Passing through walls: When conductors pass through walls, any one of the following methods shall be

employed. Care should be taken to see that wires pass very freely through protective pipe or box and that

wires pass through in a straight line without any twist or cross in wires on either ends of such holes.

(a) A box of teak wood or approved hard wood extending through the hole thickness of the wall shall be

buried in the wall and casings or conductors shall be carried so as to allow 1.3 cm air space on the

three sides of the casing or conductor.

(b) The conductors shall be carried in an approved heavy gauge solid drawn or lap weld conduit or in a

porcelain tube of such a size that it permits easy drawing in, the ends conduit shall be neatly bushed

with porcelain, wood or other approved material.

26.6.1 Where a wall tube passes outside a building so as to be exposed to weather, the outer end shall be mounted

and turned downwards and property bushed on the open end. The conduit shall be neatly arranged so that the

cables enter them without bending.

26.7.0 Buried cables: The TRS or PVC sheathed cable shall not normally be buried directly in plaster. Where so

specific in the special specification they may be taken in teak wood channeling of ample capacity or conduit

pipe buried in the wall.

26.8.0 Stripping of outer covering - While cutting and stripping of the outer covering of the cable care shall be taken

that the sharp edge of the cutting instrument does not touch the inner insulation of the conductors. The

protective outer covering of the cables shall be stripped off near connecting terminal and this protective

covering shall be maintained upto the close proximity of connecting terminals as far as practicable. Care shall

be taken to avoid hammering on link clips with any metal instrument efter the cables are laid. Where junction

boxes are proided they shall be made misture proof with a plastic compound.
