Сторінка 123 - Must not be of such material or construction that the insulation of the conductor will ultimately be injured or destroyed by the elements of the composition. c. Must be first installed as a complete conduit system, without conductors, strings, or anything for the purpose of drawing in the conductors, and the conductors then to be pushed or fished in. The conductors must not be placed in position until all mechanical work on the building has been, as far as possible, completed. d. Must not be so placed...

Сторінка 139 - Must be entirely made of material that will resist the action of illuminating gases and will not give way or soften under the heat of an ordinary gas flame or leak under a moderate pressure.
Сторінка 114 - ... b. Must be so arranged that wires of opposite polarity, with a difference of potential of 150 volts or less, will be kept apart at least two and one-half inches, c. Must have the above distance increased proportionately where a higher voltage is used. d. Must not be laid in plaster, cement or similar finish, e. Must never be fastened with staples.
