Electrical, Water, Gas Pipes Separation

04/17/2011 5:19 AM

Well, if we have all these pipes installed in parallel, which separation space (in SI unit) should be enough according to NEC, BS, or IEC standards? And how is the installation configuration?

300mm for metering installations according to BS7671 as for pipe runs it doesn't give a specific mesurement.

EE65, I know it would be vertical or horizontal crossing but how it would be when in vertical?

1. Gas? as top layer

2. Power? as second layer?

3. Water? as first layer

Or how?
