I posted this on another forum and got some conflicting answers. See what you think.
Installing a residential panel at a new location on a basement wall. Some guys have said that there might be a problem with a plumbing pipe which runs parallel to the intended panel mounting wall, at 80" above the floor and a foot in front of the proposed panel location. As far as I know it does not intrude into the working space as it's above 6'6". If so, there is no working space conflict.
On Dedicated Space, the code apparently says "The space equal to the width and depth of the equipment and extending from the
floor to a height of 1.8 m (6 ft) above the equipment or to the structural ceiling, whichever is lower, shall be dedicated to the [FONT=inherit !important]electrical installationhttp://www.electriciantalk.com/#.[/FONT]" I've thought that meant a restricted area above a residential panel, in the form of a virtual shaft or box, typically measuring about 4"x16" and usually extending to the ceiling.
This handy little diagram seems to comply with the section regarding dedicated space. But just to the width and depth of a panel.

It would be helpful to see what guys here think as to whether there seems to be a conflict with Dedicated Space requirements.
