Where is a door required? That area is for my recycling. Again let me remove all my cabinet doors. What then? Do my cabinets require a back?
What if I laid plywood on the floor and called it a rolling shelf?
I can not justify that. I believe the NEC is silent on this space so I could not require an outlet.
You justify it the same as you do any wall space. If it is there it counts regardless of use or not.
With a door I call it a cabinet
with out door I call it a shelf
with nothing I call it open space
if you put a board there I would call it a shelf but it is not there.
cabinets do not require a back to be a cabinet
If by calling it recycling you mean trash can I would NOT call it a break in wall space.
remove doors and i have shelfs
The space is real and must be called something so you tell me what it is. It is not a shelf,not an appliance and not a cabinet.
Now if I was the electrician and you said not required I would be happy.
But if i was inspector and wanted it then we have issues. Make it into anything to qualify as a break in space and I would sign it off.
