Click this link. http://www.mikeholt.com/cgi-bin/codeforum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=005297 Just thought of something! I always used 110.31(A) condition 3, to install opposing panels. These panels sometimes have doors that enter into the other panel 36" space. I don't have a problem with door swings entering this space. Russ
