Why can't the plumbing be run to the exterior of the building if it is in the crawl space? done all the time here.
Yep! This is a nice hot topic, and you lost no respect from me because I agree with you. I have sadi it before and will say it again:ICE said:Here we go again. I lost everybody's respect on this one. At some point I'll lose enough respect to stay away from electrical.http://www.inspectpa.com/forum/showthread.php?6775-Work-Space-Exterior-Equipment&highlight=working+space
brudgers' corollary to Milton's rule: Just because you got a permit, doesn't mean you met the code.gbhammer said:What I have a problem with is the fact that if you read the code as it is written, then we could never build a building with out some form of noncompliance ("all electric equipment" leaves no room for discusion).
But if there isn't anything written / stated, from some type of standard,then there will be / has been to much subjectivity applied [ i.e. - In"Like ICE, I do not take issue with any of what you are allsaying.........What I have a problem with is the fact that if you read
the code as it is written, then we could never build a building with
out some form of noncompliance ("all electric equipment" leaves no
room for discussion)."
I agree with just those words but the sentence does not stop there. Why would section (A) be necessary if it meant all electrical equipment. A sp switch is a piece of electrical equipment. So you mean to say that I must have those clearance for a switch on a kitchen counter. Of course Not. IMO, that argument is invalid since 110.26(A) specifically states for equipment likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing and maintenance while energize. Now how can you say that a water heater disconnect requires all that while it is energized.gbhammer said:Like ICE, I do not take issue with any of what you are all saying.

Hey Mike, I can't imagine that this is not supplied from an OCPD. I do agree if it is then it would need 110.26 clearance but then there would be other issues to deal with here, as you mentioned- grouping.jwelectric said:While reading this I couldn’t help but wonder if this water heater is connected directly to the service equipment. If so then the disconnect would most certainly be required to comply with 110.26 but it would also be required to be grouped in the same area as the other service disconnects.
