Existing Feeder Conduit running along roof, new shower being built without relocating

[jschwarzenbach]

Hello All,

My Project manager and I are putting together a change order to relocate an existing feeder conduit which is labeled on the plans as existing to remain. The issue is this 2" feeder is running right through where a shower will be installed. It is currently running along the roof inside the building, and also has a junction box above where the shower will be.

While it is high up, we think having the feeder go through the shower is not going to fly. I can't find the exact code to back this up, but I imagine you guys might have some idea of what code we can include along with our change request to back us up. We want to make sure we are able to relocate this feeder out of the bathroom area.

No rule says that a feeder cannot go through a bathroom.

Is the junction box directly above the shower?

Yes the box will be on the wall above the shower

Shower have a ceiling?
You doing the extra change order? Take the money and run!

Yes the box will be on the wall above the shower

If you mean that the box is below the ceiling in the shower then, while it may be distasteful, it is not a code violation.
