A/C disconnect clearance?

[Pattycakes]

Can my mini split disconnect go right underneath this service receptacle? Condenser will be to the left… this is obviously accessible but I’m unfamiliar with and wondering about vertical clearance. Condenser will be under the window. Thx

Yes. Just make sure the disco is low enough that the cover has room to swing up. That sounds trivial, but I've seen it. I've had to take cover off because they wouldn't open all the way before.

You will also need unobstructed clearance in front, above and both sides of the disconnect.

Thanks both!. @nadogail , what I am confused about is whether or not the receptacle located directly above the disco would infringe on the vertical clearance requirement. It sounds like as long as the cover can be opened fully as designed then I am good to go. Fair? Thanks again

Any Technical Information you take from me is Guaranteed to be worth exactly what you have paid me for it.

No, because it is not infringing on the working space. If it stuck out far enough that you couldn't be in front of the diso without banging your head it would be a different story.

What if he puts a "Hard Hat Area" sign on it?
