Was having a discussion with a few guys yesterday, but none of us could site a code section. Where does it discuss distance for wiring from heating (HW Baseboard) and hot water pipes?

So the question is, what do each of you allow for spacing when there is a HW BB or HW line around?

Save yourself a trip. It is not in the NEC. The recep. above a baseboard is strictly in the instruction for the BB heater.bjp_ne_elec said:I'm strictly talking about the pipe itself - say running a wire around in a basement.
Now that you mention the baseboard itself, you got me thinking about receptacles above baseboard heating. There is something called out there - but now I've got to go out in the truck and get my NEC code book - as I don't recall the articles specifics.

As for the actual question I ususally just keep the wiring from direct contact with hw pipes and baseboard.
The NFPA is made up of articles that are sectioned!bjp_ne_elec said:Was having a discussion with a few guys yesterday, but none of us could site a code section. Where does it discuss distance for wiring from heating (HW Baseboard) and hot water pipes?
