Question:
Hello Code Friends,
We need to install a NEMA 3R non-fused disconnect switch on a wall on the exterior of a building in close proximity to a hose bibb (spigot). The hose bibb will be to the side of the disconnect, not encroaching into the required working space. Is there any NEC requirement for spacing of any electrical equipment from a hose bibb?

Answer:
Hi Dennis,
The is no restriction on the location of the hose bibb proximity to the disconnect, based on the information in the question. There are dedicated space requirements to comply with on top of the equipment and below it. See Section 110.26€(2)(c).
