Water Piping Clearances for Panels, etc

[rbeery]

Our there any specific clearances for water piping around electrical equipment. Is it ok for electrical panels to be located in the same room as fire suppression water piping?

Start out by taking a look at 110.26 in your code book.

sprinkler piping can be in an electrical room but not in the space as defined in 110.26

110.26 F 1 a Dedicated equipment space

110.26 F 1 a Dedicated equipment space

Deep of the panel and 6-1/2 feets up from the top of the panel or to the celing whatever is first.

. . . 6-1/2 feet up from the top of the panel . . . .

Close, but it's just 6 feet. You are confusing the requirement for space directly above the panel with the height of the working space in front of the panel.
