Can you turn the hydrant head 90 degrees clock wise? It’ll help get you clearance, and if it ever sprays, it’ll tend to spray more away from the panel. And no, you won’t be able to mount it over the hydro, here’s why…
Clearances required…(fyi…this area not to be used for storage either)
3 ft from the front of the panel, outward from the wall (depth of working space)
The width of the panel or 30”, whichever is greater (width of working space). Panels are usually less than 30”, so usually 30” applies. This can be measured from the left side or right side, or any place in between. As long as there’s 30” clearance left to right. The panel door has to be able to open at least 90 degrees.
From the floor to 6-1/2 ft up, or the height of the equipment, whichever is higher (height of working space/headroom).
Then there’s the dedicated space about the equipment. (Indoors) The space equal to the width and depth of the equipment, extending from the floor to 6 ft above the equip, or the structural ceiling, whichever is lower. I’m guessing the roof of your shed is the height involved here. No equipment foreign (pipes, duct, etc.) to the electrical equip can be located in this zone. The area above this zone can have foreign equip provided protection is installed to avoid damage to the elect equip.
Clear as mud right?
So, if you can mount the panel so the pipe enters the left lower corner (panel extends to the right) you’ll probably get the clearance, if you can rotate the hydro head. Another thought…mount the backer board so it spans from the stud to the left of the 1” PVC to 2 studs right of that (the board will span 2 bays). Then you can mount the panel slightly to the right, and gain some more clearance. Might also consider cutting the pipe a little closer to the ground (not too much though). Either way, you’ll want to get to the wall soon, so you can get it clamped…probably another minerallac. Technically, no more than 3 ft between supports/clamps for 1” PVC, measured as following the conduit. The floor is considered support.
More mud, right??
