Correct answer to question 2016
- D: Above the point of attachment
Explanation
Service heads must be above the point of attachment so that water does not run into the raceway. Where that is impracticable, they may be within 24 in. of the point of attachment. Drip loops are formed below the service head. See 230.54(C).
