Violation of 110.26(F)?

[carlvant2004]

As can be seen in the pic, there is a water line above the panelboard.

I don't see a violation, but then I don't see a pic either.

Oops

I need to reduce the size of the jpg.

Here is the picture showing the water pipe for the refrigerator.

My old eyes can't determine if the pipe actually extends as to be over the panel, but if so, it is a violation.

Here's a graphic from the NECH of the required dedicated space above the panel. It appears that your white pipe is within the dedicated space:

Put the waterline 'in' the joist and you are OK.

Hard to tell from the picture but aren't the wires to close to the nailing edge? The holes for the wires in the bottom 1/3 of the joist?

These bother me more that the CVPC lines.

Or use infinity's picture and install a drop ceiling.

Question??? Would one panel, above the panel, be a drop ceiling?

Agreed, but most ECs don't pull plumbing permits.

I think they are communication cables.

Yes, and it would be allowed in the dedicated space, but would not change the requirement to have no foreign systems in said space.

Violation yes but i bet inspector let it slide if you put that insulation stuf on the pipe. If going to fridge it is not likely to sweat. You do have another violation and that is the OSB board on masonry wall.

NEC violation?

As shown in Robs graphic if it's above 6 foot it's not in the dedicated space for the panel. 110.26 F (1) (a)

 

[malty]

Yes a violation- I was looking at the grapic funny and reading the code wrong .Dedecated to a height 6ft above equipment.
But (b) of this section could applied some how.

Look at NEC 110.26(F)(1)(b). You definitely need some protection against condensation, leaks, or breaks in the water pipe.
