No you can not. There was a time when the NEC allowed it off the kitchen or bathroom circuit but not any longer.
Dennis, I think the idea was to get the OP familiar with trying to understand the NEC.

The Op's married to an electrician
It being the electrical trade.No, he is married to it-- it being electricity.

550.13(E) Pipe Heating Cable(s) Outlet. For the connection of
pipe heating cable(s), a receptacle outlet shall be located on
the underside of the unit as follows:
(1) Within 600 mm (2 ft) of the cold water inlet.
(2) Connected to an interior branch circuit, other than a
small-appliance branch circuit. It shall be permitted to
use a bathroom receptacle circuit for this purpose.
The reason I pointed this out was because to the number of calls I get about double wide mobile homes that have this type of installation.
The reason this is allowed is because mobile homes are governed by HUD. I am not sure just where they stand today but in the start of the 2002 cycle HUD was mandating the electrical installation in mobile homes by, I believe I am not sure, the 1993 cycle.
Thanks , I did not know this but I doubt that is what an exterior receptacle, the op mentioned, is used for. :grin: I wonder why they allow this?
Can I install an exterior outlet gfi protected off a kitchen or bathroom gfi circuit? Thank you.
