  Notes

  1. Poured concrete pad shall be approximately 4 inches thick. Provide 1/2-inch slope away from post to allow for drainage.

  2. Install bend in direction of service trench. To facilitate cable installation, only one 90 ° bend is permitted in the service riser installation. If trench is shared with gas or other utilities, consult PG&E for required increased trench depth.

  3. Meter socket enclosures for residential service (Figure 2) shall not be equipped with any circuit closing device.

  4. Approved meter socket enclosures for non-residential service (Figure 4 on Page 4) shall be equipped with test bypass facilities.

  5. Whenever it is necessary to install a service longer than 75 feet, the applicant must contact PG&E before ordering the service riser, conduit or, termination facilities. If the service riser and conduit called for in Table 2 on Page 4 will not accept the cable required to meet the voltage and/or flicker drop requirements, or will cause cable pulling problems, the next larger PG&E standard conduit size must be installed. (Refer to Document 041543 for flicker and voltage drop requirements and Document 038193 for cable pulling limitations.)

  For SI: 1 foot = 304.8 mm. a. For structural roofing and siding made of formed metal sheets, the total load deflection shall not exceed_l_/60. For secondary roof structural members supporting formed metal roofing, the live load deflection shall not exceed_l_/150. For secondary wall members supporting formed metal siding, the design wind load deflection shall not exceed l/90. For roofs, this exception only applies when the metal sheets have no roof covering. b. Flexible, folding and portable partitions are not governed by the provisions of this section.
