Electrical and Plumbing Feedthroughs

magnethead · 2018-09-11 12:50:05

Hi There, just a quick question on making feedthroughs, Does anyone know if having the two services water and electricity coming through the same feedthrough is allowed, I imagine they need to be kept a certain distance apart :( That red box, is the breaker box :) Thanks

To answer your question piping and electrical cables are permitted to pass through the same OPE.

Obviously a distribution board should not be installed in a way that means that it is likely to get splashed.
