Provide conduits in accordance with the relevant British Standards and in particular
the requirements of BS 7671 Requirements for Electrical Installations (The lEE
Wiring Regulations). Ensure appropriate IP rating for installations in external areas as
well as in damp indoor locations and plant rooms. The IP rating for these areas shall
be a minimum of IP54 and to the approval of the Engineer. All materials including the

order to avoid crossovers.
Conduits shall be saddled to the structure of the building within 150 mm of each box,
bend or fitting and at intervals as follows:

Conduit Size Spacing

20mm 0.6m
25mm and larger 1.0 m
In PVC conduit installations small circular conduit boxes and extension rings shall be
PVC and be provided with brass earthing terminals. Where used with lighting fittings
or other outlets they shall incorporate rigid metal fixing lugs, so designated that they
remain effective even if the PVC box of extension ring softens due to high working
temperatures.
In PVC conduit installations fixing saddles shall be PVC of the standard spacer bar
type comprising a spacer bar approximately 3 mm thick with a single fixing hole and
a strap secured to the base by two screws.
The fixing saddles shall allow for the longitudinal expansion and contraction of the

construction or in industrial premises, and the Contractor shall be deemed to be
aware of this at the time of tendering and to have included for the supply and fixing of
same in his quotation.
Details of proposed clips and/or brackets shall be submitted to the Engineer for
approval prior to the manufacture of same being commenced.
Holes shall not be drilled in any structural steelwork or pre-stressed concrete without
first obtaining the approval of the Engineer.
Where it is proposed to use cartridge fired bolts for fixing into brickwork or concrete,
approval shall first be obtained from the Engineer. This ruling also applies to stud
welded fixings on steel structures.
Conduits shall be terminated in accessories, switchboards or other equipment either
by being screwed into the tapped spout or hole where such is provided, or by locking
into clearance holes by means of couplers and smooth bore male metal bushes.
Ring bushes and lock/nuts for this purpose will not be accepted.
Conduit boxes, both standard and adaptable, shall be fixed to the structure of the
building independently of the conduit.
All PVC conduit joints shall be properly joined and sealed in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations with approved solvent cement.
All conduits shall be run so as to facilitate self draining to outlet boxes. Each length at
conduit shall be cleaned and dried with the help of a swab drawn through its length
and all boxes shall be cleaned to remove moisture before installing the cables.

Conduit bends shall be made with the bore of the tube remaining full and free
throughout and all conduit shall be perfectly smooth inside and outside, free from any
burrs and sharp corners. Bends shall be made by using an approved type of bending
machine to give results consistent with the best grades of craftsmanship.
No more than two right angle bends shall be permitted between draw-in boxes. No
diagonal runs of conduits shall be allowed. Conduits concealed above suspended
ceilings shall run parallel to walls and beams and those concealed in walls shall be
