partition spaces. Flexible conduit shall be kept to a minimum, provided with extra supports

to minimize weight on fittings, transitioning to EMT at the entry/exit at the drywall ceiling or

from a pull box mounted adjacent to a wall.

.11 Install Securex II cable in conduit. Terminate cables at devices or control panels in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

.12 Use watertight connectors in areas exposed to cold, moisture or weather and condensate drip

fittings where conduits pass between hot and cold environments.

.13 Install end of line resistors in accessible service room or corridor locations.
