9 OCTAGONAL FLOOR BOX WITH BLIND CIRCULAR COVER
Understand the materials, labor, and tools necessary for the installation of boxes
embedded passage octagonal boxes in the wall, which will help alleviate the wiring tasks of
lighting circuit.
Construction process
Once the height and location of the boxes indicated in the plans are defined, we will proceed to open the
niche in the masonry wall for an octagonal box, which will be secured with a mixture of
concrete flush with the wall.
In this game, it is also considered:
PVC-SAP Curves
They will be made of the same material as the piping. The use of curves made in the
Work. Only curves or elbows with standardized radius may be used.
Tube adapter to PVC-SAP box
They will be made of the same material as the piping, the connection will be pressure-fit to the box and
with a bell for the tube.
Glue
PVC-based glue should be used, recommended by the pipe manufacturer.
Unit of Measurement:
The unit of measure will be by Pto (point).
Payment Method:
The payment will be made per unit of measure and unit price defined in the budget and prior
approval of the supervisor who will oversee the correct execution of the item.

The tray must be installed following the path outlined in the plans and using the accessories.
designed by the manufacturer for attachment to the metal structure of the roof (truss)
The minimum characteristics of the cable tray will be:
- Galvanized carbon steel sheet.
- It will come in standard lengths of 2.4 m.
- At both ends of each section, there will be holes for grounding connection.
The screws and adjusting elements will be galvanized.
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
The cable trays will be installed where the projected plans indicate.
The cable trays and their mounting accessories must be semi-heavy type, made of

Cable trays must have side rails or equivalent structural elements.
The different parts used in the manufacturing must be free of defects such
such as twists, oxidation, dents, poorly executed cuts or any other imperfection or
irregularity that may affect the resistance and durability of the material or provide a poor finish or
appearance.
The trays will be at their ends and every 2 meters supported on the truss of the structure.

1.5.3 ENERGY CONDUCTORS AND CABLES
[Link] CABLE LSOH-80 2-1x 4mm2 + CPT DE 1x 4mm2
Understand the materials and labor needed to carry out the wiring process.
electric power feeders for the different boards proposed for the building
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Once the pipe is embedded like the boxes, the wiring will proceed.
first to clean the boxes where the pipes arrive, then check that the tubes do not contain
water, if there were water, they would proceed to dry them by introducing a guide with scraps through the pipe
made of industrial cloth or another suitable material for this work, the wiring will be done with a guide cable
preferably PVC to avoid creating grooves and weakening the pipe as in the case of guide cables.
