General
Scope
This specification covers a surface nonmetallic raceway system used for
data, voice, video, other low-voltage cabling and electrical wiring. The
nonmetallic raceway system shall consist of
raceway, appropriate fitting and accessories to complete installation
per drawings.
Classification and Use
Surface nonmetallic raceway is to be utilized in dry interiors only as
covered in Article 352 part B
of the National Electrical Code, as adopted by the National Fire
Protection Association and as
approved by the American National Standards Institute. The
HellermannTyton TSRP - Powered
Raceway is listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories UL-5A under File Numbers
E192902 and
E211305 for U.S. and Canadian use.

Drawings
For prewired installations, submit drawings for approval showing the
complete layout of
all products that make up the complete system for each floor prior to
installation with
raceway lengths, device type (power and/or data), locations and circuits
identified.
>
As Built Drawings
If variations from approved shop drawings occur during the installation
of the system,
final, as built drawings, shall be submitted for each floor that has
been altered.
Product
Manufacturers
The surface nonmetallic raceway system specified herein for electrical
wiring or data, voice, video
and other low-voltage wiring, shall be TSR or TSRP Raceway manufactured
by HellermannTyton
Corporation. Other manufacturer’s systems may be considered equal if, in
the opinion, and the
written approval of the engineer, they meet all the performance standard
specified herein.
Materials
The surface nonmetallic raceway system shall be UL Listed and exhibit
nonflammable, selfextinguishing
characteristics, tested to comparable specifications of UL94V-O. The
raceway shall
be available in 6’ and 8’ lengths. Material and work specified herein
shall comply with the
applicable requirements of:
> ANSI/TIA/EIA – 568-B Telecommunications Cabling Standard.
> ANSI/TIA/EIA – 569-A
Raceway
The raceway shall be a one-piece, adhesive backed latching design to
aesthetically
organize and route either power (TSRP) or communications cables (TSR/TSRP).
Completely tamper resistant, cover’s self-locking, hidden positive latch
permits quick reentry
as well as providing a secure installation of premise wire or power
cables.
The flexible hinge allows the raceway to endure numerous openings
without creating
discoloration or stress cracking. The rubber-based foam tape adhesive
with high ultimate
bond strength conforms to any surface.
> TSR – LOW VOLTAGE SURFACE RACEWAY
This raceway shall be used for communication wires and other low voltage
wiring.
Available in 3 different sizes: TSR1- 3/4”(W) x 1/2”(H), TSR2 -
1-1/4”(W) x
3/4”(H) and TSR3 - 1-3/4”(W) x 1”(H). All sizes available in 3 colors:
Ivory, Office
White and White.
> TSRP – POWER SURFACE RACEWAY
This raceway shall be used for power or communication wiring. Available
in 3
different sizes: TSRP1- 3/4”(W) x 1/2”(H), TSRP2 - 1-1/4”(W) x 3/4”(H)
and
TSRP3 - 1-3/4”(W) x 1”(H). All sizes available in 3 colors: Ivory,
Office White and
White. TSRP is UL Listed for power up to 600 Volts, meeting UL5A and CSA
22.2
No. 62-93 Standards.
Fittings
A full compliment of fittings must be available including, but not
limited to: elbows,
internal and external corners, tees, reducers, ceiling drops, splice
covers and end caps.
The fittings shall provide a means for connecting to the raceway and
shall be capable of
maintaining a 1” minimum bend radius. Fitting covers shall overlap the
raceway to hide
uneven cuts. The fittings are to be manufactured from flame resistant
UL94V-O plastic in
colors that match the raceway: ivory, office white and white.
Accessories
Junction Boxes shall be available for data, communication, or other
low-voltage outlets
in-line. All junction boxes shall accept and NEMA standard 70mm
faceplate. Available
in varying depths, they are equipped with concentric knockouts on all
four sides for every
TSR size. The junction boxes are to be manufactured from flame resistant
UL94V-O
plastic in colors that match the raceway: ivory, office white and white.
Execution
Installation
Prior to and during installation, refer to the system layout drawing or
installation instructions
containing all elements of the system.
Work shall include furnishing all raceway, appropriate fittings and
junction boxes to install a
nonmetallic surface raceway system as indicated on the electrical and/or
communication drawings
and in the specification. Installer shall comply with detailed
manufacturer’s instruction sheets,
which accompany the system.
Wire Fill Chart -
TSR and TSRP Surface Raceway Systems
Formula used to calculate communications wire fill capacity - Numbers of
wires = duct / {1/4 x 3.14 x (wire o.d.)2} x 0.4 or 0.6. Per ANSI/TIA/EIA-569-A-:
SPEC = 40% fill which is recommended for planning perimeter pathways
MAX (for data) = 60% fill which is allowed to accommodate unplanned
additions after initial installation
MAX (for power) = Maximum number determined by UL temperature testing
Note: It is recommended to place electrical cables loosely in raceway |
