PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine areas and equipment to receive vibration isolation and seismic-control devices
for compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions
affecting performance.
C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
A. Transformers:
1. Mount transformers within the building construction on unit DNP isolators. If
the transformers are suspended, use Unit HN isolators selected to achieve not less
than 2.5 mm static deflection.
2. Make electrical connections to transformers using flexible electrical connections.
Use Type A connections for conduits less than 25 mm. Use Type B connections
for conduits sized 25 mm and larger.
D. Coordinate the size, location, and special requirements of vibration isolation equipment
and systems with other trades. Coordinate plan dimensions with size of housekeeping

pads. Install so that the isolators bear on the housekeeping pad and the isolator baseplate
rests entirely on the pad.
E. Provide vibration isolators of the appropriate sizes and proper loading to meet the
specified requirements.
F. Position vibration isolation hanger elements as high as possible in the hanger rod
assembly, but not in contact with the structure, and so that the hanger housing may rotate
a full 360 degrees about the rod axis without contacting objects.
G. Supply and install incidental materials needed to meet the requirements stated herein,
even if not expressly specified or shown on the Drawings, without claim for additional
payment.
B. Install bushing assemblies for mounting bolts for wall-mounted equipment, arranged to
provide resilient media where equipment or equipment-mounting channels are attached to
wall.
C. Multiple Raceways or Cables: Secure raceways and cables to trapeze member with
clamps approved for application by an agency acceptable to authorities having
jurisdiction.
E. Drilled-in Anchors:
1. Identify position of reinforcing steel and other embedded items prior to drilling
holes for anchors. Do not damage existing reinforcing or embedded items during
coring or drilling. Notify the structural engineer if reinforcing steel or other

embedded items are encountered during drilling. Locate and avoid prestressed
tendons, electrical and telecommunications conduit, and gas lines.
2. Do not drill holes in concrete or masonry until concrete, mortar, or grout has
achieved full design strength.
3. Wedge Anchors: Protect threads from damage during anchor installation.
Heavy-duty sleeve anchors shall be installed with sleeve fully engaged in the
structural element to which anchor is to be fastened.
4. Adhesive Anchors: Clean holes to remove loose material and drilling dust prior
to installation of adhesive. Place adhesive in holes proceeding from the bottom
of the hole and progressing toward the surface in such a manner as to avoid
introduction of air pockets in the adhesive.
5. Set anchors to manufacturer's recommended torque, using a torque wrench.
6. Install zinc-coated steel anchors for interior and stainless-steel anchors for
exterior applications.
7. Hanger Rod Stiffeners: Install hanger rod stiffeners where indicated or
scheduled on Drawings to receive them and where required to prevent buckling
of hanger rods due to seismic forces.
A. Install flexible connections in runs of raceways, cables, wireways, cable trays, and
busways where they cross seismic joints, where adjacent sections or branches are
supported by different structural elements, and where they terminate with connection to
equipment that is anchored to a different structural element from the one supporting them
as they approach equipment.
A. Testing Agency: Engage a qualified testing agency to perform tests and inspections and
prepare test reports.

results are achieved.
