General Information

This booklet contains eight sets of detailed construction specifications and two special case supplements for lightning protection system installations for all types of conventional building construction.  These specifications are written so that the specifier and building owner can be assured of receiving only the highest quality materials installed to meet or exceed all code requirements and industry standards.  Current codes on lightning protection systems, NFPA 780, UL96 and 96A, and LPI-175 were used in the preparing of these specifications.

Following is a guide for the usage and applications of these specifications.  Keep in mind that these guides are for general construction only and are not meant for use on such facilities as electrical distribution, switching stations, or lines, or for structures used for production, storage, or handling of explosives, hazardous or flammable substances.
