54.6-E.    Risers

Risers from underground cables or other conductors shall be encased in grounded iron or steel shall (or other metal covering of equal strength) from the ground line to a level not less than 8 feet above ground line (see App. G, Fig. 61)

Any riser on the surface of a pole or not more than 18 inches from the center line of a pole shall be covered by a suitable protective covering where within a vertical distance of 8 feet from the level of communication conductors (including cables) or unprotected supply conductors (including the leads from the terminal) supported by the same pole or where within a radial distance of 6 feet from conductors not supported by the same pole.

The portion of any riser between the insulating covering required on the upper section and the metal covering required on the lower section by the foregoing shall be covered by the extension of either metal pipe is used as a protective covering, the fiber conduit shall not extend within 8 feet of the ground line and shall be installed in a workmanlike manner and securely supported in order to prevent it from slipping downward and exposing any upper section of the metal pipe.

The radial clearances between conductors, specified in Table 2, Cases 16 and 17, are not required between suitably insulated conductors in the same riser.

Protective covering (suitable) is not required over risers in iron or steel pipe attached to a steel pole, tower or other metal structure, provided the iron or steel pipe is effectively grounded and is metallically connected to such metal structure.

Protective covering (suitable) is not required over risers encased in effectively grounded non-climbable metal poles or iron or steel pipe attached to a steel pole, tower or other metal structure, provided the iron or steel pipe is effectively grounded and is metallically connected to such metal structure.
