Weatherproof Electric Panel

[jioman]

Is there a requirement as to how far off the wall I must install a residential weatherproof electric panel? I seem to remember some spec was mentioned. Is it Florida spec or county spec? I am in Pinellas County in case it matters. Thanks

It's NEC & It's 1/4" ,,,but most outdoor panels have the 1/4" "humps" where the bolts go, so you don't need to do anything special.

I agree, and the code section that requires the 1/4" spacing is 312.2.

And after you mount the panel on the bare block wall, the stucco guy is gonna come along and stucco around it and there goes the 1/4" air space and nobody cares!
