This specification outlines the requirements for the design, construction and performance of the Extra Heavy Wall (XW) BreathSaver Reinforced Thermosetting
®

Resin Conduit (RTRC) and fittings.

1.2 Product application & use
Conduits and fittings are Class 1, Division 2 which can be subject to physical damage per NEC . ®

1.3 Materials
Conduits and fittings shall consist of continuous E or E-CR glass roving in a cured corrosion resistant phenolic resin system pigmented with UV inhibiting
carbon black dispersed homogeneously manufactured for use at temperatures ranging from –40 °F (-40 °C) to 1850 °F (1010 °C). No resorcinol resin
based system shall be allowed.

Phenolic resin system shall be impervious to a wide spectrum of chemicals. Conduit shall contain no halogens as chlorine and shall not contain other toxic
materials in excess of trace levels limits compliant with OSHA requirements.
1.4 Joining Method
Each length of conduit is supplied with an integral bell on one end and spigot on the other end. All joints shall be adhesive bonded inside a bell end of even
socket depth through out the raceway. Adhesive shall be supplied by the manufacturer of the conduit and shall have a minimum joint pull out load of 1
000 lb, (454 kg) per inch diameter trade size.
1.5 Fittings
All fittings, adapters and elbows shall be constructed in the same manner as the conduit (filament wound) and shall have a socket depth and an inside bell
design consistent with the conduit.

POLYWATER® LZ PERFORMANCE LUBRICANT

DESCRIPTION
Polywater LZ Lubricant is a high-performance,
cable pulling lubricant. Polywater LZ is compatible
with a broad variety of LSZH/LSHF compounds.
Polywater LZ is also compatible with other high-
performance cable jackets. It provides excellent
tension reduction and is recommended for all types
of cable pulling.
Polywater LZ is slow drying and leaves a thin,
slippery film that retains its lubricity for months after
use. Polywater LZ does not sustain flame when
used with fire-retardant cables and systems. Its
dried residue is nonconductive and
noncombustible.
Polywater LZ is a stringy gel. It can be applied by
hand or using Polywater’s LP-D5 Pump. It is also
available in the unique Front End Pack Polywater LZ is a specification grade lubricant
prelubrication bags. PRODUCT FEATURES
FRICTION TESTING • Low Friction Coefficient: Maximum tension

Lifeline® RHW-2 Insulating Bushing

The installation of the “Insulating Bushing” is required as part of FHIT 25C, Item 9; and
within TIS 301H (Manufacturers Installation Instructions), Item 5.

The Insulation Bushings are only required when installing the Lifeline® RHW-2 system with
the approved EMT conduits/connectors. The bushings are designed to be placed inside
the inner diameter of the connector from inside an enclosure after the Lifeline® RHW-2
cables have been installed. The purpose of these bushings is to prevent the cable from
shorting to the connector during a fire event. Occasionally, during very high temperature
fires, EMT conduits can become malleable and begin to sag which creates tension on the
cables inside the conduits/enclosures. This added tension may lead to the ceramified
insulation on the wires to rub against the connector body as the wires exit (into the
enclosure) the connector. Generally, this happens when the wires in the enclosure are bent
causing each wire to move to one side of the connector housing. Tension may cause the
wire(s) to rub on the connector side they are closest to.

To prevent the remote chance of an electrical short from occurring, Prysmian has selected
and tested a woven silica fabric that can withstand extremely high temperatures while
providing insulating properties. The approved woven silica fabric (called a tape by the
manufacturer) is AVSil Silica Woven Tape Type WT65CH. Prysmian supplies this silica
woven “tape” in lengths pre-cut for EMT connector sizes per the catalog numbers below:

Conduit Trade size Insulating Bushing Dimensions (in)

Bushing Cat No.
0.5 CUSEMT-050 1 X 3
75 CUSEMT-075 1.3 X 3
1 CUSEMT-100 1.6 X 3
1.25 CUSEMT-125 2.2 X 3
1.5 CUSEMT-150 2.5 X 3
2 CUSEMT-200 3.2 X 3
2 CUSEMT-200 3.2 X 3

3 CUSEMT-300 5.3 X 3
3.5 CUSEMT-350 6 X 3
4 CUSEMT-400 6.8 X 3

While each bushings length is cut per the ID of the connector, the width is constant at 3
inches. This extra width allows for a minimum of ½ inch to overhang past the end of the
EMT connector.

To install the bushing, simply wrap the bushing around the exposed cables within the
enclosure and slide the bushing fabric 2½ inches into connector with ½ inch outside
connector. This may require some movement of the cables to ensure the bushing is in
place. Fold the ½ inch excess fabric (outside connector) over the threaded OD of the

 connector. The bushing shall be secured to connector by circumferentially wrapping
connector threads and exposed bushing with at least three layers of supplied 3M 69 Glass
Cloth tape. Completed bushing installation shown below:

Each bushing kit supplied by Prysmian will contain:

2 each pre-cut silica fabric tape
1 roll of 3M 69 Glass Cloth tape

Important Note: Each CUSEMT-XXX kit is sufficient for 2 EMT connectors!

The following pages will show technical data sheets and safety data sheets for the silica
woven tape as well as the 3M 69 Glass Cloth Tape.

AVSIL® SILICA WOVEN TAPES

Product Description
AVSil® WT19, WT180, WT36CH and WT65CH are “woven edge” silica tapes for protection of electrical lines,
piping and equipment from fire, extreme heat, welding splatter and molten metal. AVSil® WT19, WT180,
WT36CH and WT65CH represents four different thickness of silica tape, and all have the added benefit of
woven edges to prevent unraveling. AVSil® Silica Woven Tapes can withstand thermal temperatures up to
1800°F (982°C) for extended periods of time. These tapes are used in high temperature applications as
insulation or thermal protection over: electrical cabling, pipe, water jacketed tubing, cords, and hoses. AVSil®
Silica Woven Tapes are also used as “mop style” furnace curtains, furnace door gasketing, high temperature
seals, and as a replacement for refractory ceramic fiber tape. AVSil® Silica Woven Tapes are used
extensively in the Power Generation, Shipbuilding, Construction, Welding and Metal Processing industries.

Features Benefits
• Resists high temperature and penetration of • Protects cables, pipes, cords and other
molten metal weld “slag” equipment in the toughest welding applications
• Fireproof • Protects against hot work fires
• Woven edge • Does not unravel like slit tape
• Excellent insulating properties • Lower energy costs
• Can be used in fabrication • Reinforces edges of blankets & curtains

AVS Industries cannot predict all of the potential applications for which customers may attempt to use the AVSil® Silica Woven Tapes. AVSil® Silica
Woven Tapes will have varying degrees of effectiveness for each potential application depending on the maximum temperature attained, the length of
use, and the amount of temperature fluctuation. If the customer has any questions regarding the use of AVSil® Silica Woven Tapes in a particular
application, please contact AVS Industries at (302) 221-1720 and we will provide a sample of the AVSil® Silica Woven Tape for testing. This product is
not warranted against injuries or damages of any kind caused by uses for which this product was not designed, intended, or tested by AVS Industries.

with Silicone Pressure-Sensitive
Adhesive

Data Sheet November 2008

Description 3M™ Glass Cloth Electrical Tape 69 is a white glass cloth tape with a high-temperature
thermosetting silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is designed for use in 600-volt
dry location applications motors, and transformers with and without varnish coating.
Key attributes like high mechanical strength and resistance to high temperatures
provide excellent performance. The thermosetting adhesive provides an increased
bond once applied in areas of high ambient temperatures. The thermosetting
adhesive provides elevated temperature performance up to Class N 392°F (200° C)
temperature rating.

This tape provides insulation and solvent-resistant protection for use as coil cover,
anchor, banding and core, layer and crossover insulation. This tape features a non-
corrosive adhesive. It is conformable, printable and flame retardant.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address the hazards that are
presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the
inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to
be generated in significant quantities.
