3. Mark on the wiring board the location of the safety switch, utility
boxes, and junction boxes.

4. Fasten the safety switch and Polyvinyl Conduit (PVC) boxes with wood
screws at the desired locations.

5. Prepare the Polyvinyl Conduit (PVC) conduit for installation.

a. Measure and cut each PVC pipe according to the desired length
b. Make an offset bend at each end of PVC conduit which will be
connected to a box.
c. Bend 90º based on the diagram.

6. Install and connect ends of PVC pipe to the electrical boxes, safety
switch.

7. Support the conduit with conduit clamps or straps.

8. Fish-in conductors/wires inside conduits/wire ways based on the

required size of wire as prescribe by the Philippine Electrical Code
(PEC).

9. Cut wire according to the desired length. Always provide allowance (6-
8” for smaller size of wire) for future tapping or termination.

 10. Strip wires in the boxes then connect them to the terminals of the
switches and fuse clip holder. Note: All loop termination must be
turning clockwise and be tightened snugly according to the
manufacturer’s torque specifications. Avoid excess wire termination.

11. Splice and joint wires in junction boxes based on the circuit design
operation. Joining or splicing of conductors inside conduits
raceways is strictly prohibited. Make sure that the joined wires have
6-8” allowances from the edge of the box to the outstripped joined
end of wires.

12. Mount/Connect LED lamp based on the circuit design operation.
