Where no gas pipe or other support for the fixture exists, the special form of terminal box designed to furnish such support shall be employed and shall be substantially fixed to a suitable foundation in the ceiling or wall.

All tubes shall be of sufficient size to allow the wires to be readily drawn in, withdrawn and reinserted at will.

Tubes, whether concealed or on the surface, should be held in place by the fastenings especially designed for with this conduit.

The tubes shall be cut squarely, reamed out smoothly, and the ends joined by the use of the coupling designed for that purpose.

Where more than three elbows are unavoidable an intersection box shall be inserted to relieve both the wires and the tubes of strain when the wires are being drawn in.

135. Elbow Limitations.

All tubes shall emerge at outlets in 136. Outlets. terminal boxes leaving the outlets so protected as not to be injured by the plasterers.

To guard against mechanical injury and the destructive action of cement all floor conduits shall be made of double tube, one telescoped within the other, and both the outer and inner tubes joined in the usual manner. The outer tube shall, in the case of contact with cement, be alkali proof. As a further protection floor tubes shall be covered, during construction, with a light board. Such other precautions shall be taken to insure the safety of the tubes as the character of the building and work require.

No distributing circuit shall carry more than amperes. In buildings requiring a greater supply of current the lights shall be divided into circuits; these circuits shall be brought together at convenient and accessible centres of distribution where all branch cut-outs shall be placed.

Each branch circuit shall be provided with a double-pole cut-out. The switches specified below shall be furnished and installed All cut-outs and switches shall be mounted on incombustible bases.
