San Jose CA - sub panel location

[tbakelis]

Heard rumor recently that sub panels aren't going to be allowed in laundry room anymore. That can't be true, is it? Anyone hear anything about this??

 

[Dennis Alwon]

Most rumors are just that--rumors. I can't imagine why that would not be allowed

Don't laundry rooms contain the same "easily ignitable materials" that clothes closets contain?

Yes and so do garages, shed etc. I know that there are some cmp members who have stated that a panel can be in a clothes closet as long as it is not near combustibles. For instance behind the door of a closet Wait, isn't a door combustible.... I am kidding I know a door is not easily combustible

Sorta, kinda, maybe.

Closets get jam packed full- clothes, boxes, what not- while laundry areas tend to be more open.

Now someone will remark about W/Ds in closets, like stacking ones.

Yeah, but in those closets, you wouldn't have the clearances, Clarence.
