Can someone tell me what the code is relating a 600v busway and the distance from a water line? The busway is not water tight.
jwelectric said:There no requirements in the NEC for a distance from water lines
hj said:In that case, you should have asked the question a long time ago, not when the job is done and the inspector is walking up to the door.
So then why is there no code required separation between pipes and bussways?BrianJohn said:The number ONE reason for busway failures is WATER. The number one reason burst pipes, over flow of floor drains and toilets and slop sinks overflowing.
Pretty much my thinking as well.jwelectric said:The water pipe is not installed so it will burst but instead it is installed to handle the pressure applied.
Should it burst it would be no diffferent than installing a buss under a roof that might leak.
