1. All materials and equipment used in the installation will
conform to Underwriter’s Laboratories standards and must be designed for
intended Marina use. Materials and equipment should be standard products
of a manufacturer regularly engaged in the manufacture of such products.
Such products shall meet the design standards for the specific
application and should have been in satisfactory use for a period of two
years in a like application. Exceptions to ‘use period’ may be
authorized by the Engineer where the material satisfactorily meets a
general use criteria or adequate laboratory testing has been completed.
2. Pedestal shall be UL listed as a complete assembly.
3. Electrical wiring will consist of insulated stranded copper
type THHN/MTW conductors rated for service at 90°C or THHW/MTW VW-1 Boat
Cable rated for 105°C. Non-wire conductors will be tin plated copper.
4. Power pedestal shall be molded of GE Lexan polycarbonate and
all body parts shall be corrosion, impact and UV resistant capable of
withstanding high humidity and caustic environments and shall be vented
to allow proper heat dissipation.
5. Color shall be permanent molded in white to resist showing
scratches and chips and all external surfaces shall also be painted to
further resist the effects of aging.
6. Pedestal Base shall attach to deck or concrete slab with an
internal fastening system to eliminate unsightly bolts and to minimize
removal by vandals.
7. Pedestal Base shall be constructed so that it may be installed
(with utility connections attached) prior to complete installation of
the entire pedestal.
8. Pedestal shall be securely and substantially supported by
internal structural members independent of any conduit or plumbing
connections, to sustain a force in any direction and at any point of 100
pounds without permanent deformation or offset of a pedestal.
9. All external screw fasteners that require removal to gain
access for any installation, maintenance or modification must thread
into a brass insert, and not rely on threads holding in a plastic part.
10. Installation is to be in accordance with local codes and
approved by local electrical inspector.
1. Receptacles shall be corrosion resistant, grounding type,
conforming to NFPA Volume 303 Chapter 3, Section 3.13.
2. Receptacles shall be mounted at approximately 60 degrees down
from the horizontal, and a minimum of 24” above the mounting plane.
3. Each receptacle shall be protected by a thermal magnetic
circuit breaker that is ambient temperature sensitive.
4. Receptacles and their respective circuit breakers are to be
assembled together on a panel that can be removed and inserted into the
pedestal with a plug connection mechanism.
5. All receptacles shall be covered by a hinged door that
prevents water from dripping on the plug, receptacles and circuit
breakers. These doors must latch closed with and without plugs and power
cords attached, and must be lockable with a padlock with a 1/5” dia.
