Electrical Wiring:

|
All wall and roof panels have 1-1/2" wire chases running inside the panels. Each chase is marked on the interior side of the panels. |

During panel installation, it is very crucial that the top plates are drilled before the roof system or second level floor system is in place. |
| |
 |
|
If the walls are to be wired from below the walls, it is necessary to drill out the base plate with a spade bit while setting panels. Measure the wire chase in the panel and drill the plate as each panel is set. |

If roof panels are used, use top gap between wall panels and roof panels as a gutter for wiring. Then fill in gap after wiring is complete. |
| |
|
|
The easiest way to cut out boxes in the panels is to set up a jig and use a plunge router. |

If it is necessary to access a horizontal chase from a vertical chase, run wire down vertical chase and then drill out a small plug at the junction of the vertical and horizontal. Then reach inside panel and turn the wire and push down the chase. |
| |
|
|
Cut all boxes in panels before wiring, then run wiring to the boxes. |
| |
|
|
It is recommended that any chases accessed from the outside be filled with insulation after the wires have been run. |
| |
|
|
Cut as little OSB as possible when wiring. If necessary, OSB can be routed horizontally, but this takes away from the structure of the panel, so do not make long runs in this fashion. |

Wall panels have set heights of 16" and 46" for horizontal chases in every panel. Specialized chases can be installed in the panel upon customer request. |

Use a flex bit to drill out wire chases that do not exist in the location where you need it at. |
