Flag explanation

Plumbing clause 2 confirms electrical clause 3's finding: WH-1 is located near Panel EP-2 and reduces clear working space in front of EP-2 to approximately 18", well below the 36" required clearance for the panel's voltage condition. Both disciplines independently flag the same physical conflict between the water heater placement and the panel's required clear working space, and it also compounds the pre-existing deficiency noted in electrical clause 2 (only 30" shown even before WH-1 is considered).

Clause '2' (plumbing):
2. Coordinate WH-1's location with the electrical engineer's Panel EP-2, shown on E-101 on the same wall -- EP-2 requires 36" of dedicated clear working space, and WH-1 as located reduces the usable clear floor space in front of that panel to approximately 18".

Candidate clauses from other disciplines in the same submission (only these may be cited):
[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: 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: 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: 79dd5322-efb5-4bae-93e6-d64eae7dff40] architectural 5: 5. Corridor 106 clear width shown 3'-4" (40") -- VERIFY code
   minimum for occupant load served (see A-102 egress calc).

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.
