Wall of Outlets/Art

[bcm]

A friend sent me this today, and I had to laugh.

Beyond the protests of "how do you baby-proof that!", I had to wonder if it challenges the NEC.

There isn't a limit to the # of receptacles on a circuit for a dwelling unit, unless I'm mistaken, but this is a bit nuts! Do the rules of the NEC bow to "art". *lol*

It can also be seen at

Have fun!

I do not believe this installation will have issues with spacing...:grin:


I wonder if there is a discount for volume?

I see no NEC violations, if this is a dwelling unit the receptacles must all be TRs.


I would like to see how the 'rough in' was done, I would proably use Wiremold G3000.

And to think most people go to great lengths to hide their entertainment-center cords.

I could think of better ways to spend my hard-earned money.

I question if it is real. Leaves me to wonder if it is real what boxes did they use and what did they use for wall studs, drywall ? An sure it was pain to wire and keep everything in line.
As far as number of circuits needed ,just 1 if residential.

I like it. :grin:

Could we use an unwired cord cap as a picture hanger?

[boltneck]

[chris kennedy]

I dunno. It looks pretty convincing to me.

I love the Ivory / White combo.

I agree with one 15 A AFCI ckt and TR receptacles. (unless this is in the Bath or Kitchen :roll.

I wish someone would pay me to install a wall like this. . . . :grin:

I am with you and I think the cords are fake as well. Kin dof like this fake image of a dog.
