    Required clearance around electrical panel from water lines?
    I have water lines above my electrical panel... about two feet away. It is my understanding that this is allowed if there is some type of drip tray installed. Does anybody have a picture of such a tray installed. I am located in Ontario, Canada. Thanks

    Ideally they should not be there. Don't know how old or when code was accepted that allowed this installation. I've seen drip trays made of PVC piping that is cut in half, enclosing the piping and then cemented back together with a 1 ft. overlap on the ends. If the piping is CPVC, it would be easy to reroute the water line to be below the panel.
