Default Copper Pipes / Electrical Panel Clearance

For clarification the panel is mounted on the wall. The pipe runs
parallel to the box but 1.5 feet in front of in. So if you were
standing in front of the panel looking directly at it the pipe is
above your head (not over the panel).

Hope this helps,
Amy

Yes, that helps. If the pipe is above, and not blocking, the panel, it is
OK.


Not necessarily; it depends on how far the pipe is above the floor. The Code
requires clearance in front of the panel to work -- which includes sufficient
space for a workman to stand up in.
