What is the minimum clearance required from a weather-head to adjacent phone lines?

6 inches
12 inches
18 inches
24 inches

The correct answer is: 12 inches

The minimum clearance required from a weather-head to adjacent phone lines is 12 inches. This requirement is established to ensure safety and proper functioning of electrical systems and communication lines. Adequate spacing reduces the risk of accidental contact, which can lead to short circuits, interference, or even hazardous situations where electric shock can occur. By maintaining this distance, it also prevents the potential for weather-related issues such as water accumulation that could lead to corrosion or system failures. This clearance is important for code compliance and typically reflects industry best practices to protect both electrical and telecommunications infrastructure.
