• roughed-in and adjust fixture locations as required.

• Light fixtures will be supported independently of the ceiling

construction complete with all fasteners, framing, and
hangers. Fixtures will not be secured to mechanical ductwork
or other vibration producing apparatus unless specifically
detailed on the approved shop drawing.

• Where fixtures are suspended from the structure, they will utilize
self-aligning box covers with an additional ground wire from
the outlet through the hanger for continuity of ground.

• All the fixture installations will be carefully coordinated with the

work of other trades ensuring that the necessary depths and
mounting spaces are provided.

• GI conduit support will be provided on all suspended fixtures.

will be connected using the ring main principle with a
maximum of 10 nos.

• Each ring main will be connected to its own circuit on the

distribution board and will be protected.

• Wires will be cut according to the proper length and fix the
necessary lugs for the proper termination to the ceiling rose as
per the approved shop drawing.
 • Prior to terminations, it will be ensured that all wires are

switches, junction box and etc, it will be ensured that the
preinstallation backboxes are fixed properly aligned with wall
finish.

• The alignment of wiring accessories will be checked prior to

the completion of installation.

• Joints will not be permitted in any final circuit except at socket

outlets, switches, ceiling roses, general accessories, and light
fittings.
