Our local elevator inspector is asking us to comply with a requirement in the elevator pit area for a NEMA 4 box. I have included the mandate language for your use. Is there a manufacturor who currently makes a receptacle assembly that complies with this rule?
(i) ASME A17.1a-1997 Rule 102.2-c5 When sprinklers are installed in the hoistway, all electrical equipment, except earthquake protective devices conforming to the requirements of Rule 2409.1b(4), located less than 4 feet above the pit floor shall be: (a) weatherproof (NEMA4); and (b) wiring shall be identified for use in wet locations in accordance with the requirements in ANSI/NFPA 70.
