Introduction
This book is to be delivered to the General Contractor or Project Manager at the
first job site visit. With this book and in conjunction with the sales approvals, the
Otis Superintendent will cover important information regarding the preparation of
the job site.
It is the goal of Otis Elevator to guarantee a safe work environment to all

employees. The Otis Superintendent with this book will go over the
requirements that are needed for Otis to begin work in a safe and quality
environment.
Otis is committed to turning over a quality elevator to the final customer.

The intent of this book along with the sales approvals is to guarantee
communication between the local office and the party with which Otis
Elevator has a sales contract. Any suggestion as to how Otis could better
communicate in the future will be appreciated. For any suggestions please
communicate through the Otis Construction Superintendent.

Elevator Installation
Process
General Contractor’s / Project Manager’s
Guide to the Elevator Installation Process
Coordination between the various building trades during the elevator installation process is
essential for the smooth installation, completion, and final Code Authority acceptance of the project
elevators.
The information contained in this reference manual is intended as a tool and an aid to the General
Contractor/Project Manager. The purpose is to ensure that “elevator related” work items are
identified early in the construction process. This will allow other trades sufficient time to complete
their work to permit a timely elevator installation and successful final elevator inspection by the
local Code Enforcing Authority.
A Contractors Pre-Start Checklist and key items of coordination is enclosed, along with a “Work
by Others Reference” section. This information should be shared with the appropriate
subcontractors. The checklist items must be completed, and the form signed and returned, before
Otis can begin the installation. If drilling is required, the “Outside Drilling Information” form must
be completed and a copy sent to Otis and the Drilling contractor.
A Contractors Pre-Inspection Checklist of the non-elevator work items is enclosed. This form
along with the “Work by Others Reference” section serves as a ready reference. These items,
which are often cited as deficiencies during the Code Authority inspection, must to be complete
prior to the elevator being inspected and approved for public use.
Prior to calling for Code Inspection, all elevator as well as non-elevator work items, outlined in the
pre-inspection checklist, must be complete and ready for final inspection. Otis will not be
responsible for re-inspection fees or additional labor cost caused by the failure of other
trades to perform as required.
We would also like to take the opportunity to advise you that it is the policy of Otis Elevator
Company that 90% of the contract amount is paid before the equipment is turned over to you. If
you foresee any problems with this requirement, please contact the Otis Superintendent.
The enclosed information is provided as a reference based on current Code interpretations and
experience. Local Code Authority interpretation of requirements may at times differ and obviously
will govern.

HydroFit MRL Access Door Shroud
Purpose & Design:
The HydroFit machine room less (MRL) arrangement requires the use of a shroud that
serves three purposes:
1. It provides a mounting location for the mainline and cab lighting disconnects
2. It defines the space that is allowed for the disconnects to avoid any potential
interference with the elevator components.
3. It acts as a barrier to prevent access to the hoistway in the upper portion of the
MRL access door.
Shroud shown with

disconnects installed
The shroud design is not “handed”; it will work with either left or right MRL machine
space locations. The shroud is simply flipped accordingly to orient the deeper section
toward the rear of the hoistway for passenger duties or to orient the deeper section to
the front of the hoistway for hospital (service) duties. The cover plate on the bottom of
the shroud is then removed.
Installation:
The shroud ships with hardware and brackets for mounting it in the machine space door
jamb, adjustable unistrut sections for mounting the mainline disconnects to the shroud,
and both top and bottom covers (note: once installed the cover on the bottom is
removed).
Brackets to set
(locate) shroud from
top of door jamb
Unistrut provides
adjustment for mounting
a range of disconnect
cabinet sizes
Note: The small brackets may need to be removed and reattached depending on the
which side of the hoistway the MRL access door is and what “hand” of the shroud is
needed…the deeper section of the shroud is oriented toward the rear of the hoistway for
passenger duties (2100, 2500, 3000, 3500) or toward the front of the hoistway for
hospital (service) duties (4500, 5000, 5000AIA).
EXAMPLE: For a 2500lb duty passenger car, orient the deep portion of shroud to rear of
hoistway; shallow portion toward the front of hoistway
Front of Hoistway

used to fill slots provided
when smaller
disconnects are If top of jamb is >2” the
mounted supplied brackets may
not work as intended
Unistrut can be
removed if
necessary for
deeper disconnects
Mounting brackets can be used to hang shroud from top of door jamb; the brackets also
set the correct depth of the shroud in the jamb
The shroud fits inside jamb and is butted up against the top inside of the jamb; ensure
that it is plumb and parallel to the jamb; attach to jamb with screws provided.
Note: there may be a gap

between the shroud and
the door stop
Inside top of
door jamb
Make sure the shroud

butts up against the top

Top cover not shown
Depending on door stop
width, the shroud may
not butt up against the
door stop – use
mounting brackets to set Hoistway side
correct depth in jamb
Disconnects should
not extend below

Door stop the shroud
Shroud ships with top and

bottom cover so that it is not
handed – only the top cover is
needed once it is installed, the
bottom can be removed
Cutouts will need to be made
in the top cover to
accommodate disconnect
feeder conduit
Note: There should be a small notch (approximately 7/8” gap) between the door jamb
and top-most and bottom-most edges of the shroud. This gap at the bottom allows
clearance for the top mounting bracket for the controller.

Preparatory Work By
Others
PREPARATORY WORK BY OTHERS
The following items must be performed or provided at no cost to Otis Elevator Company (“Otis”) by the
Owner or General Contractor or their agents in accordance with governing codes. The price and
installation schedule of Otis is based on these jobsite conditions existing at the beginning and during
installation of the elevator equipment. Failure to provide the items specified in this list will result in
additional work performed by Otis beyond the scope of our contract causing installation delays. A
change order will be submitted by Otis for materials and / or labor expended.
All work to be performed per the latest revision of the applicable national code and / or local code.
General Prep / Work

1. Provide any cutouts to accommodate elevator equipment (troughing, venting, and hall fixtures) along with
patching and painting of walls, floors, or partitions together with finish painting of entrance doors and frames, if
required.
2. Provide tractor trailer access to the building for unloading of material and an onsite storage area for elevator
equipment as follows: dry and enclosed, provides roll-able access to the elevator hoistway at the ground level,
located within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of the hoistway, and is larger than 25 x 20 feet (7620 mm X 6096 mm) per
elevator. Any warranties provided by Otis for elevator equipment are null and void if equipment is stored in a
manner other than a dry enclosed building structure.
3. Provide sufficient onsite refuse containers for the proper disposal of elevator packaging material. Should
sufficient refuse containers not be provided, disposal of packaging material shall become the responsibility of the
owner.
Hoistway and Pit Prep / Work
4. Prior to the start of installation, provide a dry, properly framed, enclosed and vented hoistway in accordance with
all applicable codes.
5. Provide a clear plumb hoistway with variations from the size shown on the Otis layout not to exceed -0 inch / +1
inch (25 mm).
6. Install per Machine Room / Machine Space Prep / Work and Electrical Requirements.
Provide a rough opening for and install a 3’ X 7’ standard fire rated interior door on one side of the hoistway, as
shown on the Otis layout. When determining the location of the machine space door,the dimension on the Otis
layout is from the inside door edge of the jamb and not the door stop edge. Please be advised that this door
location is very critical. Follow door manufacturing instructions for the different types of hoistway wall material
and make the appropriate adjustments so that this door will be placed in the proper location.
The door frame must be securely mounted to the wall to sustain a cantilevered / horizontal force exerted by the
electrical disconnect(s), electrical conduit, and wiring up to an approximate 150 lb. load. Install per Machine
Room / Machine Space Prep / Work and Electrical Requirements. The door should be able to open fully (180°).
7. Furnish adequate rail bracket supports and bracket spacing as required by governing code from pit floor to top of
hoistway. For steel or wood frame construction, adequate backing for a rail bracket to be installed not less than
10’-3” (3124 mm) or more than 11’-3” (3429 mm) from the top landing. Furnish separator beams where required.
Rail bracket attachment supports must be exposed and flush with the clear hoistway line.
If the floor to floor height exceeds the maximum bracket spacing allowed by the elevator code, Otis requires some
form of steel support to properly attach our guide rail brackets. The maximum allowed bracket spacing is
indicated in the rail force and bracket detail table on the Otis layout. Any rail bracket mounting surfaces that are
not in line with the finished hoistway dimension (i.e. the clear hoistway line) may need to be extended to meet the
required distance. Otis agrees to provide guidance on this matter at the appropriate time.
If rail bracket embedded plates or inserts are provided by Otis, they shall be installed by others in accordance with
Otis’ documentation and instruction.
If vertical tube steel is utilized as rail support, (2) vertical tubes spaced at 20.4” (518 mm) on center are required
for car rail brackets with “A” dimension ≥ 5.76” (146 mm). For Machine Space applications, horizontal rail bracket
supports must be provided. Note: Vertical supports will interfere with the machine space access door.

Common Inspection
Violations
Common Inspection Violations
Before the elevator(s) can be complete and ready for inspection by the state or local
inspector, all requirements of the ASME/ANSI A.17.1 Elevator Code and local code
requirements must be met. This includes completion of work that must be performed
by other trades. Per our agreement, it is Otis’ responsibility to arrange for this
inspection. We ask you to ensure that all “work by others” has been completed prior to
our agreed upon date for inspection. Note - If the elevator installation does not
pass inspection due to uncompleted work by others, then all additional costs
associated with a re-inspection will not be the responsibility of Otis.
Below is a list of common inspection violations. A review of these items along with the
Pre-Inspection Checklist is recommended prior to the inspection process to allow for
any necessary corrective action.
Elevator Pits
□ Elevator pits shall be waterproof and designed to provide a dry pit area.
Standing water in the pit area is considered a major violation of Code. Note - A
sump pump cannot be used alone to meet the requirements of providing a
dry pit area. Proper waterproofing is required.
□ Drain holes connected to the building sanitary sewer are not allowed in the
elevator pit under any circumstances.
□ The floor of the pit shall be approximately level.
□ Sump pumps must be set into the pit floor and a metal cover provided to cover
the entire sump hole level with the pit floor. It must drain to approved area or oil
separator device, not a sanitary sewer. The purpose of the sump pump is to
remove casual water from the pit. Note - Check with local code authorities
for specific local requirements .
□ Any pit more than 3’-0” deep shall be provided with a non-combustible access
ladder.
□ An externally guarded permanent lighting fixture and a GFCI convenience outlet

shall be provided in each pit. The light switch must be located as to be
accessible from the pit access door and provide an illumination of not less than
10 foot-candles at the pit floor.
□ Provide patching of pit floor after setting of cylinder assembly to accommodate a

watertight condition.
1
Elevator Hoistways
□ Hoistways serving more than two (2) floors shall be provided with means for
venting smoke and hot gases directly to the outer air or through non-combustible
ducts to the outer air in case of fire. Vents shall be located in the side of the
hoistway directly below the roof or directly over the hoistway. The clear open
area of the vents shall be not less than three and one-half (3 ½) percent of the
area of the hoistway, and in no case less than three (3) square feet for each
hoistway, whichever is greater. Note - More stringent local building codes will
take precedence over elevator code requirements. Special attention is
required for hoistway ventilation exposed to weather. Vents shall have an insect
screen to prevent the entry of birds, insects, etc.
□ Hoistway enclosures shall have substantially flush surfaces. Beams, floor, slabs,
or other building construction shall not project more than two (4) inches inside the
general line of the hoistway unless the top and bottom of the projection is beveled
at the angle of not less than 75° degrees with the horizontal. Where setbacks
occur, the top of the setback shall be beveled at the same angle. Setbacks or
recesses at the hoistway vent are included under this requirement. This
requirement does not apply to divider beam(s) between elevators.
□ Drywall construction, if used, shall be a tested assembly approved for the use it is
being applied to (partition wall or floor-ceiling assembly). Only non-combustible
systems are approved. Penetrations in the dry wall assembly for elevator fixtures
are required, and the responsibility for maintaining the fire rating of the dry wall
system at these points is borne by the system installer. Note - More stringent
local building codes will take precedence over elevator code in regard to the
fire rating of elevator hoistways.
□ Hoistway door entrance frames and headers shall be grouted solid to maintain fire
ratings of the hoistway.
□ All voids, holes, slots, etc., in the hoistway shall be grouted or pointed up to
maintain fire rating of the hoistway.
□ All nails, snap-ties, form straps, and wood shall be removed from the hoistway.
□ Only equipment required for the operation of the elevator is permitted inside the
elevator hoistway.
□ Landing areas for all floors and elevator lobbies shall be completed prior to the
inspection.
2
Elevator Machine Rooms
□ Only machinery and equipment required for the operation of the elevator shall be
permitted in the elevator machine room. Pipes or ducts conveying gases, vapors,
or liquid or electrical equipment, wiring, piping and controls not used for the
operation of the elevator are prohibited in the elevator machine room.
□ The elevator machine room shall be free of refuse and shall not be used for
storage of any materials not related to the elevator equipment.
□ Machine room doors shall have fire rating with labels. Doors shall be self-closing
and self-locking. Minimum height of the door is 6’-0”. Minimum width of the door
is 30”. The door lock shall be of the type that can be opened from the inside
without a key. However, a key is required to open the door from the outside at all
times. Push-button type locks are not allowed in the machine room door.
□ Machine rooms shall have a minimum of seven (7) feet clear headroom under all
obstructions (including hoist beam, light fixtures, etc.).
□ Machine room floors shall be smooth and level.
□ Machine rooms shall have adequate ventilation to avoid overheating of the

equipment. Ambient temperature in machine room is to be maintained between
60°-100° all times, or as detailed in our submittal. Relative humidity not to
exceed 95% non-condensing.
□ Special attention is required for machine room ventilation and machine room
doors when exposed to the weather. Extra precautions must be taken to prevent
entry of blowing rain.
□ Adequate lighting shall be provided in the elevator machine room to provide not
less than ten 19 foot-candles at all areas of the floor level. The light switch shall
be located within 18”on the lock-jamb side of the access door.
□ A GFCI type duplex receptacle shall be provided in the elevator machine room.
□ All voids, holes, slots, etc., in the machine room shall be grouted or pointed up to
maintain the fire rating. All nails, snap-ties, form straps, and wood shall be
removed from the machine room walls, floor, and ceiling.
□ Provide a Class “ABC” fire extinguisher.
□ A lockable fused disconnect switch in machine room with feeder wires to elevator
controller, all piped in accordance with N.E.C. or C.E.C. (Canadian Electrical
Code), and grounded. Switch must be in sight of elevator machine and shall be
the type that cannot be engaged with door open. Disconnect should be equipped
with a microswitch when ERU units are being furnished. (2.26.4) (NEC 620.91-C)
