Code Question of the Day

Monday, October 3, 2022
CQD 10/3/22

Hello Charlie,
The 2018 Edition of NFPA 99 Healthcare Facilities Code 6.3.2.3.4 States that an operating room shall be considered a wet location unless the Hospital Governing body determines otherwise. The NEC 406.9(B) states in wet locations it must be in a weather-resistant enclosure with WR cover. I have been in many operating rooms and have never seen WR enclosures, covers, or receptacles in the headwall. Is it required by the NEC?
Sincerely,
Kelly Wafford.
