The terminals of all the risers the{ feeders

mains and taps shall be brought together in junction boxes at the points designated in this specification and on the plans [and connected with their respective cut-outs and switches; (unless the wiring contractor does not furnish cut-outs and switches, in which case add, in such a way as to permit the easy and convenient insertion of the cut-outs and switches specified.)].

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All tubes shall be of sufficient size to allow the wires to be readily drawn in, withdrawn and reinserted at will.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

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.
