Fire sprinkler pipe over a doorway to enter an electrical room. I know I saw it somewhere but where?
I've looked in NFPA 13 (2013 edition) and I couldn't find it there. I also looked in NFPA 70, it wasn't there. Next I looked in the IBC and I couldn't find it there either.
If it is and any of those standards or code I couldn't find it but I remember reading it somewhere.
Can anyone help me out here.. where did I see this because I know I did.

Just has to have required clearance per building code ?
Maybe clearance NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 110.26
This is 2000:

Might have been a particular job with a certain requirement ?

It's been so long maybe what I saw was something like this:
Like Travis I've never passed through an electrical room I've always entered it over the center of the door because it's the one place that a panel can't be installed.
And again I don't know where I read it but I remember reading just because there was a suspended ceiling, either suspended or simply drywall attached to the bottom of wood framing, does not mean we can automatically run a pipe above the ceiling and somehow avoid the rule requiring 6 feet above the top of the equipment.

I have run through the rooms because there is nothing that prohibits it in an electrical room. You just can't run over panel. A transformer room is one you can not run through. However, I often avoid going through the rooms because it is less of a hassle than educating everyone that will see it and question it.
