[RE-wrenches] Conduit Across "Walkway"

[Joe Nelson]

Our qualifier has always been (from local AHJ’s) just that it’s not high enough off the deck that it’s a “trip hazard”  . .  Which for us, just meant that we would offset bend it down to a minimum height off the deck  3”-4” . .

Thanks Brian,

I would read this as saying that I CAN run a conduit across the walkway since it would be only a "minimal obstruction".

Mark- 

The 2018 IFC and IRC both state "Pathways shall be located in areas with minimal obstructions, such as vent pipes, conduit or mechanical equipment."  

 

It must be permanently marked "WARNING PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SOURCE" in accordance with 690.31(G)(3) as well.

Folks,

I have a 3 foot "walkway" on a roof pitch and between two separate arrays, as required.

Is there anything that prevents me from running a conduit between the two arrays, across the "walkway"?

Thanks,

Mark Frye
