Provide a 1" conduit.
Provide a 1" conduit through the concrete/gunite at the
location selected for the Panel. The Panel will extend
into the inside diameter of the conduit and the cable
will be routed through it.
Before concrete/gunite is placed, securely fasten the
1" conduit so that it will remain in position during
the placement of the concrete/gunite. The conduit
should be long enough to extend at least 6" beyond
the finished inside surface and 6" beyond the rough
outside surface of the concrete/gunite. This will allow
the conduit to be cut flush with the final finished
surface on the inside and extend beyond the rough
outside surface.
Important: The 1" conduit must be positioned and
adequately fastened so that it will be perpendicular
both horizontally and vertically to the finished surface.
This is extremely important for a successful installation
of the Panel. Additional conduit will be added to the 1"
stub-out to reach the System Control Center.
4. Complete the Installation of the Conduit
A. Before additional concrete is placed over the
route of the conduit to the System Control Center,
complete the installation of the conduit.
B.
Be sure that all underground conduit is positioned
in well compacted soil below the concrete. Also
use care when making the glue joints to be sure
that they are watertight. Additionally, do not use
more than two 90 degree sweeps in a single pull.
Doing so may make pulling the cable difficult.
C.
For long conduit runs (over 100') it may be
advisable to use a watertight pulling fitting
positioned in the middle of the conduit run. If this
is necessary, it is advisable to elevate the pulling
fitting at least 6" above the finish grade from
the surrounding area to avoid potential flooding.
Important: Do not cut the cable at the pulling
fitting. Use the pulling fitting as an intermediate
pulling point only.
