Additionally, the paver assembly will cover over the outlet unless it is raised higher. We recommend Grunley and the design team confirm the submitted “weather outlets are proof” floor-mounted appropriate for this application and the electrical wiring is not at risk for water damage. We recommend connecting a solid conduit (not corrugated flexible conduit) through the junction box to the conduit cast into the slab, filling the junction box with grout, and applying the waterproofing over the grout and onto the solid conduit. The final conduit should include a flanged face plate to sit flush on top of the pavers. The HRA should be reinforced with uncured neoprene, extend 3 in. min. onto the conduit, and be secured with a band clamp similar to Detail 36 on Sheet 12 of the HRA shop drawings (Submittal 46-01).
