K. Fire-Rated-Assembly Penetrations: Maintain indicated fire rating of walls, partitions,
ceilings, and floors at cable penetrations. Install sleeves and seal with firestop
materials according to local codes and the manufacturer’s written instructions.
L. Roof-Penetration Sleeves: Seal penetration of individual cables with flexible boot-
type flashing units applied in coordination with roofing work.
M. Aboveground Exterior-Wall Penetrations: Seal penetrations using sleeves and
mechanical sleeve seals. Size sleeves to allow for 1-inch annular clear space between
pipe and sleeve for installing mechanical sleeve seals.
N. Underground Exterior-Wall Penetrations: Install cast-iron "wall pipes" for sleeves.
Size sleeves to allow for 1-inch annular clear space between cable and sleeve for
installing mechanical sleeve seals.
3.6 SLEEVE-SEAL INSTALLATION
A. _ Install to seal underground exterior-wall penetrations.
B. Use type and number of sealing elements recommended by manufacturer for cable
material and size. Position cable in center of sleeve. Assemble mechanical sleeve
seals and install in annular space between cable and sleeve. Tighten bolts against
pressure plates that cause sealing elements to expand and make watertight seal
3.7 FIRESTOPPING
A. Apply firestopping to electrical penetrations of fire-rated floor and wall assemblies to
restore original fire-resistance rating of assembly according to local codes and the
manufacturer’s written instructions.
3.8 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Perform tests and inspections and prepare test reports.
B. Tests and Inspections:
1. After installing conductors and cables and before electrical circuitry has been
energized, test service entrance and feeder conductors, and conductors feeding the
following critical equipment and services for compliance with requirements.
