I only have a copy of 08' NEC 110.26, but according to that any elec. Panels you need to be 6'-0" above, or clear the equipment, unless there is a ceiling in the room. I don't know if that applies to telecom panels. The only time I've been told I can't run through a telecom room is military projects so it might be a UFC requirement.

I don't have access to the NEC right now. I can't locate anything in NFPA 13 that would prohibit it. I am on a project where due to phasing, I have to run a branch line through the telecom room to supply 2 sprinklers on the other side of it for this phase. The engineer says you can't do it. I thought I remember something in the NEC saying that sprinkler piping was acceptable to pass through these electric and telecom rooms. I just can't run over panels. -- Travis Mack, SET MFP Design, LLC 2508 E Lodgepole Drive Gilbert, AZ 85298 480-505-9271 fax: 866-430-6107 email:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
