Please, can someone provide the code section stating that if you are protecting the electrical room as well as the rest of a building, the main feeding the branches within the electrical room have to end in the room and can not continue to adjacent areas of the building.
I couldn't find that wording in the NEC or the Handbook stating any such restrictions. I might have missed it and would like to know for sure. Need actual Section and wording. Craig L.

You can run into them and protect the space. You can't continue thru to provide additional protection elsewhere. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 2:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Electrical Rooms If you're supplying sprinklers in the electrical room you can pass through it. You don't run through the electrical room if you're not protecting it to service an adjacent room. As far as service clearances, generally when you're at the ceiling, you are most likely outside of that "sacred" space. And sprinkler piping does get some preferential treatment (one of those rare occasions) in comparison to other utilities within electrical rooms. Craig L.

You just need to stay out of the "dedicated" space?
