PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION
A. Comply with NECA 1, including mounting heights listed in that standard, unless otherwise
indicated.
B. Coordination with Other Trades:
1. Protect installed devices and their boxes. Do not place wall finish materials over device
boxes and do not cut holes for boxes with routers that are guided by riding against outside
of boxes.
2. Keep outlet boxes free of plaster, drywall joint compound, mortar, cement, concrete, dust,
paint, and other material that may contaminate the raceway system, conductors, and
cables.
3. Install device boxes in brick or block walls so that the cover plate does not cross a joint
unless the joint is troweled flush with the face of the wall.
4. Install wiring devices after all wall preparation, including painting, is complete.
C. Conductors:
1. Do not strip insulation from conductors until right before they are spliced or terminated
on devices.
2. Strip insulation evenly around the conductor using tools designed for the purpose. Avoid
scoring or nicking of solid wire or cutting strands from stranded wire.
3. The length of free conductors at outlets for devices shall meet provisions of NFPA 70,
Article 300, without pigtails.
D. Device Installation:
1. Replace devices that have been in temporary use during construction and that were
installed before building finishing operations were complete.
2. Keep each wiring device in its package or otherwise protected until it is time to connect
conductors.
3. Do not remove surface protection, such as plastic film and smudge covers, until the last
possible moment.
4. Connect devices to branch circuits using pigtails that are not less than 6 inches (152 mm)
in length.
5. When there is a choice, use side wiring with binding-head screw terminals. Wrap solid
conductor tightly clockwise, two-thirds to three-fourths of the way around terminal
screw.
6. Use a torque screwdriver when a torque is recommended or required by manufacturer.
7. When conductors larger than No. 12 AWG are installed on 15- or 20-A circuits, splice
No. 12 AWG pigtails for device connections.
8. Tighten unused terminal screws on the device.
9. When mounting device within a steel box, remove the fiber or plastic washers used to
hold device-mounting screws in yokes, allowing metal-to-metal contact.
10. Allow for interferences with equipment, counters, millwork, cabinets, windows, fin
radiation, etc., and adjust exact location as required as part of this contract.

11. Check door swings and install light switches on jamb side of the door. Verify locations
and adjust location to jamb side of door as part of the contract.
12. Mount receptacle at height where called for. Mount with center of box at 18 inches above
finished floor as a basic condition where no height is indicated.
13. In those areas where vertical space is not available, such as under fin radiation, cabinets,
and above backsplash, mount horizontally; ground slot to the left.
14. Provide a green ground wire from source, through the wiring system, and connect to the
ground terminal of every wiring device.
15. Provide GFI receptacles at all outdoor, wet, and restroom areas, and where called for.
E. Receptacle Orientation:
1. Install ground pin of vertically mounted receptacles up, and on horizontally mounted
receptacles to the left.
F. Device Plates:
1. Do not use oversized or extra-deep plates. Repair wall finishes and remount outlet boxes
when standard device plates do not fit flush or do not cover rough wall opening.
2. Provide blank matching coverplates for outlets not used.
3. Coverplates for telephone, controls, etc., shall match device plates in each area.
3.2 IDENTIFICATION
A. Comply with Section 260553 "Identification for Electrical Systems."
B. Identify each receptacle with panelboard identification and circuit number. Use a printed label
with the following specifications / settings on face of plate for outlets and light switches; P-
Touch PT-E500 or equivalent printer, Helvetica font, 3/8” white tape, black print, auto sized,
1X width, Bold style, Line off, Center aligned, and frame Off. Use durable wire markers or tags
inside outlet boxes. An example of a face plate is shown below –
