service conductors in same enclosure

[kwired]

Well...I'll debate this a little further...

Yes, I see your point related to the added language in the 2014 NEC 230.6(5)...

But, inside outer building surfaces constructed similar to this that comply with 230.6(2) would allow any service conductors suitable such as RMC, IMC, EMT, ENT, SE, MC, PVC...to be routed through the exterior wall envelope of a building.

Also note that 230.6(5) only applies to installations to accommodate the overhead clearance rules of 230.24

Encasement in 2 inches or more of concrete or other masonry generally is considered outside the building even if not within the outer envelope of the building.

230.6 is an entirely separate topic which from an NEC standpoint can make any inside location 'outside' the building.

Lets put 230.6 aside and look at the wall detail, IMO 1/100,000 of an inch inside the red brick is 'inside the building' and the CMP seems to think so to.

What is left for debate?

Just to stir the pot a little :angel:, it appears a mast in an exterior wall is permitted in Washington State....

Search page for "E101." The illustration is between two instances.

WA has a pretty liberal 15 feet allowance for sec inside. I see these quite frequently there.

It has nothing to do with why you have run the service raceway through the eave space....it only says that you can, and that when you do, those conductors in the rigid or IMC are outside the building.
