Thanks, James..

I heard today from an Electrician that when it comes to serviceable disconnects for equipment, that the 30" and 36" rule is not as stringent, and this set up would be acceptable.

Maybe an Electrician could chime in on this to clarify for us.

Marcel, this is one of those subjects that dont never go away and is disputed between many fields. I like to use wordage in my report that states as commonly seen in many homes including new construction the disconnect is located behind the disconnect. Recommended the disconnect not be installed behind the condenser unit or something like that. In my area the city inspectors also dont seam to have a problem with it although its clearly outlined that it shouldnt.
