The bus duct shall include all necessary Park flexible connectors and hardware to connect the bus duct to the auxiliary transformer and to the switchgear. Insulated cable or hard bus connection is not acceptable. 3.1.9. A fire resistant divider or barrier shall be provided at all points where the bus duct extends through the building wall. The barrier shall have a minimum rating of (3) three hours. 3.1.10. Suitable accessories and fittings shall be furnished on the bus duct to accommodate buyers hangers and supports. Required support point shall be designated on the bus duct drawings. 3.1.11. It shall be the bus duct Seller s responsibility to match the bus duct connection flanges to switchgear and transformers. If necessary, dimensions and details of the connecting equipment flange connections will be supplied to Seller by Buyer. 3.1.12. Space heaters rated 240 volts ac, operating at 120 volts ac, shall be provided in all outdoor bus duct to prevent condensation. The space heaters shall be completely factory wired with no exposed wiring inside the bus housing. Heaters shall be thermostatically controlled. The space heaters shall be supplied from and external source by Buyer. The entire circuit shall be wired to an accessible terminal block providing for a single connection of the external power source. Space heaters shall be accessible from the outside of the bus duct. A drip shield will be provided over the space heater opening to prevent entry of water into the enclosure.
