That is exactly my thoughts as well. This is a 3D model project, so I am
clear of all panels and everything else. This no pipe in these rooms is
an old hold over from decades ago that seems to be stuck in many
people's heads.

I'd tell the engineer to site the code section that prohibits the pipe passing through.
It's ridiculous but I have seen AHJ's interpret the thing about "no unnecessary
equipment" to mean the pipe can enter but not leave an electrical equipment room. I
don't think there is any code at all about pipe in a telecom room.

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.

Subject: telecom rooms
Is there anything in any code/standard that prohibits sprinkler piping from
passing through telecom rooms? 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.
