Valuable time is saved by installing buswayearly in a construction project and using Field Check Piecesto complete the job. The 112-inch joint will provide evenfurther flexibility.To determine the length of piece(s) to be inserted,measure the opening length "L" as shown from the end ofeach housing and subtract 81/4 inches. This equals the bus way length "X" from center line of joint to joint and is theway to measure all Spectra Series busway pieces.JOINTS WITH 1/2-INCH 1\DJUSTABILITYNOMINAL POSITIONwwwEvery Spectra Series busway is supplied with the 112inch adjustable joint as standard. The modular joint pack ispreassembled to one end of each piece of busway andshipped in the "nominal" position. The joint caps have fourhousing mounting holes (eight on 5000 amp Copper) thatcontain twistouts permitting expansion or contraction ofthe joint up to 112 inch in either direction.JOINT (t TO JOINT X L -Sv.''Fig. 27.3 Joint Cap27
