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.

Minimum seperation distance of 300mm between any pipeline and an electric cable. Configuratioin could be vertically parallel or Horiozontally Parallel or Vertcally Crossing or Horizontally Crossing

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?
