1. Take steps to insure that devices and their boxes are protected. Do not place wall
finish materials over device boxes and do not cut holes for boxes with routers that are
guided by riding against outside of the boxes.
2. Keep outlet boxes free of plaster, drywall joint compound, mortar, cement, concrete,
dust, paint, and other material that may contaminate the raceway system, conductors,
and cables.
3. Install device boxes in brick or block walls so that the cover plate does not cross a
joint unless the joint is troweled flush with the face of the wall.
4. Install wiring devices after all wall preparation, including painting, is complete.

C. Conductors:
1. Do not strip insulation from conductors until just before they are spliced or terminated
on devices.
2. Strip insulation evenly around the conductor using tools designed for the purpose.
Avoid scoring or nicking of solid wire or cutting strands from stranded wire.
3. The length of free conductors at outlets for devices shall meet provisions of NFPA 70,
Article 300, without pigtails.
4. Existing Conductors:

1. Replace all devices that have been in temporary use during construction or that show
signs that they were installed before building finishing operations were complete.
2. Keep each wiring device in its package or otherwise protected until it is time to
connect conductors.
3. Do not remove surface protection, such as plastic film and smudge covers, until the
last possible moment.
4. Connect devices to branch circuits using pigtails that are not less than 6 inches (152
mm) in length.
5. When there is a choice, use side wiring with binding-head screw terminals. Wrap solid
conductor tightly clockwise, 2/3 to 3/4 of the way around terminal screw.
6. Use a torque screwdriver when a torque is recommended or required by the
manufacturer.
7. When conductors larger than No. 12 AWG are installed on 15- or 20-A circuits, splice
No. 12 AWG pigtails for device connections.
8. Tighten unused terminal screws on the device.

16140-16
