Conduits: Where metallic conduits terminate without mechanical connection to a metallic housing of electrical equipment by means of lock nut and bushings provide ground bushing connected with a bare copper conductor to the ground bar in the electrical equipment. Metallic conduits containing ground wiring only shall be bonded to the ground wire at both conduit entrance and exit. Install grounding conductor in each non-metallic conduit or duct except those used for telephone, sound or low -voltage signals, and in all flexible conduit that does not have a built-in ground conductor. Bond the conductor at both ends in the equipment grounding system. F. Feeders and Branch Circuits: Provide a separate green insulated equipment grounding conductor for each single or three phase feeder and each branch circuit. Provide a separate green insulated equipment grounding conductor for each single phase branch circuit. Install the required grounding conductor in the common conduit or raceway with the related phase and/or neutral conductors and connect to the box or cabinet grounding terminal. Where there are parallel feeders installed in more than one raceway, each raceway shall have a green insulated equipment ground conductor. G. Devices: Install a minimum No. 12 green insulated equipment bonding conductor from a grounding terminal in the respective outlet or junction box to the green ground terminal of all receptacles and through flexible conduit to all light fixture housings. H. Motors: Install a separate green insulated equipment grounding conductor from the equipment ground bar in the motor control center or separate starter through the conduit and flexible conduit to the ground terminal in the connection box mounted on the motor. Install the grounding conductor in the common conduit or raceway with the related circuit conductors. 3.04 GROUNDING ELECTRODES: A. Two service ground electrodes shall be utilized. One shall be the main cold water metallic water piping system, and the other shall be a made electrode consisting of not less than 20 feet of bare copper conductor encased along the bottom of a concrete foundation footing which is in direct contact with the earth (NEC 250-81c). Make the connections to the cold water pipe inside the building at the point of entrance. The grounding electrodes for separately derived systems shall be approved for the application. 3.05 GROUNDING CONDUCTORS: A. The grounding conductors for both service ground electrodes shall be insulated or bare copper, sized in accordance with NEC 250-94, including the conductor for the made electrode. The conductors shall be continuous without joint or splice, and shall be installed in conduit with the conduit bonded to the conductor at each end. Install the conductor to permit the shortest and most direct path, and terminate in the main service equipment on the common ground point. Equipment grounding conductors shall be green insulated conductors equivalent to the insulation on the associated phase conductor, but not 16450 - 2 : unless otherwise noted on the drawings. 2.06 FLUORESCENT LAMPHOLDERS: A. Designed so lamps will be held firmly in place, electrically and mechanically, permitting easy insertion or removal of lamps. Provide corrosion resistant treated lamp pin contacts. 2.07 CEILING TRIM: A. Furnish proper ceiling frames for ceiling material in which recessed fixtures are to be installed. Verify prior to ordering. 2.08 LENS: A. When an acrylic lens or diffuser is specified, it shall be of 100 0 acrylic meeting American Society for Testing Materials specifications for Methacrylate Molding and Extrusion Compounds (ASTM D788-63). Plastic diffusing panels, luminous sides panels and other luminous plastic members of fixtures shall be made of not less than 0.156 inch thick prismatic Pattern 19 clear acrylic material. Plastic shall be non-flammable or shall have a flame spread rate of not more than 3.2 inches per minute for a 1/2 inch width of the material. The plastic shall show no yellowing apparent to the naked eye either when subjected to the accelerated weathering test in accordance with ASTM D-795-44T (500 hours exposure, using type S-1 lamp) or after prolonged exposure to a fluorescent lamp source under conditions identical with those existing in the fixture in which it is to be used. The plastic shall be non -electrostatic or the finished parts shall be treated with an anti -static wax. 2.09 HOUSING: A. Not less than 20 gauge steel with baked white enamel finish applied over corrosion -resistant primer unless otherwise specifically approved. 2.10 EMERGENCY LIGHT BATTERY PACKS: A. Lighting fixtures so indicated on the drawings shall be provided with emergency lighting feature. Components shall consist of a sealed nickel -cadmium battery and a solid state invertor, charger and switch system. The components shall be self-contained within the fixture and be factory installed. The rechargeable battery shall operate one lamp at an emergency level of 1100 lumens for a minimum of 90 minutes. The fixture shall be U.L. listed. System shall have a 5 year unconditional guarantee. Units on switched circuits shall be wired such that the fixture can be switched off without causing the emergency battery to operate. Units shall be Bodine B-50 or approved equal. PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 SUPPORTS: A. Support ceiling fixtures by anchorage to the ceiling only where the ceiling is concrete or masonry units. Provide mounting angles on trapeze where required to support light fixtures between structural members. No lighting fixtures, conduit or outlet boxes shall be supported from the building sheet metal deck. Where lay -in construction is used, fixtures shall be on the lay -in type. Coordinate supports for lay -in fixtures with Ceiling Contractor. 3.02 LOW DENSITY CEILING: A. Special attention is directed to the code restriction against mounting fluorescent fixtures on combustible low -density cellulose fiberboard (NEC 410-76(6)). If fixtures are to be installed that are not UL approved for this condition, a suitable mounting arrangement shall be developed which meets the approval of the Engineer. 3.03 CEILING TRIM AND MEANS OF SUPPORT: A. The ceiling trim and means of support of recessed fixtures shall be coordinated with the type of ceiling to be installed to insure proper installation. P 16500 - 2 3.04 BLOCKING: A. Protect housings of recessed lighting fixtures during installation of internal blocking or framing to prevent distortion of sides or dislocation of threaded lugs which upon completion must be in perfect alignment and match the corresponding holes in frames or rims so that holding screws can be installed freely without forcing and remain so they can be easily removed when servicing. Threads to receive holding screws shall be chased after plating and finishing to insure easy installation and removal of knurled beaded screws by thumb pressure. 3.05 LAMP GUARDS: A. Provide safety guard clips on open type fluorescent fixtures to prevent lamps from falling. 3.06 CLEAN-UP: A. At final inspection, the fixtures and lighting equipment shall be in first class operating order, in perfect condition as to finish, free from defects, completely lamped, clean and free from dust, plaster or paint spots, and complete with the required glassware, reflectors, side panels, louvers or other components necessary to complete the fixtures. 3.07 LAMPS: A. Install new lamps in all lighting fixtures seven (7) days before building acceptance or beneficial occupancy, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. End of Section 16500 - 3
