Flag explanation

WH-1 is shown 18" from the wall it shares with Panel EP-2, reducing EP-2's clear working space to ~18" when the panel already only has 30" (needing 36" minimum). Plumbing's clause 8 acknowledges a clearance conflict but only checks against E-101 panel clearance requirements generically; the actual documented conflict is with EP-2's clearance being encroached by WH-1's placement, which is physically incompatible and needs direct coordination.

Clause '8' (plumbing):
8. Verify WH-1 clearance from the east wall against the electrical panel clearance requirements shown on E-101 before setting the unit; see the WH-1 notes above.

Candidate clauses from other disciplines in the same submission (only these may be cited):
[id: 3fec37d3-eb97-4fc7-91d7-6d6f24a1c58b] electrical 6: 6. Dedicated equipment space and working clearance for all panels shall meet the applicable electrical code requirements for the voltage and condition shown; see the EP-1 and EP-2 notes above.

[id: c0db094c-d519-4117-b158-f553fcd13b52] electrical 1: 1. Panel EP-1 (Waiting/Office area, 120/208V, 42-circuit) requires a dedicated equipment clearance in front of the panel. This clearance zone is shown landing at the same stretch of Corridor 106 where the Restroom door (104) is shown swinging into the corridor on A-101
-- coordinate with the architect, since the door swing as drawn overlaps the panel's required clear working space.

[id: f59b6e8b-74fb-40ea-80d2-7f748dc69097] electrical 2: 2. Panel EP-2 (Mech/Elec Room 105, 120/208V, 30-circuit) is shown with 30" of dedicated clear working space in front of it. The minimum clear working space required for a panel at this voltage-to-ground condition is 36"; the 30" shown does not meet that minimum on its
own, before even accounting for other equipment in the room.

[id: 076c85ec-4a24-46a6-a468-fec9fd39a2e2] electrical 3: 3. The plumbing plan (P-101) shows water heater WH-1 set 18" from the same wall as Panel EP-2, which further reduces the usable clear floor space in front of EP-2 to approximately 18" -- coordinate panel and water heater locations with the plumbing engineer.

[id: 8134ea51-ab17-4add-9fb1-ab1dcdc9c893] mechanical 5: 5. Verify roof structure capacity with the structural engineer prior to setting any rooftop equipment; see the RTU-1 note above.

Does this clause create a coordination conflict with any of the candidates above - i.e. do they describe the same physical space, element, or system in a way that is physically or functionally incompatible? Call report_cross_discipline_conflicts with your findings, or an empty conflicts list if there's no real conflict.
