Before routing any duct near electrical panels, switchgear, or disconnects, verify the required working clearances from NEC Article 110 with the electrical foreman. Duct in the working clearance space is a code violation and requires removal.

Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Allowing duct to be installed that will block code-required clearances for electrical panels. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
