I looked at the definition of a Kitchen in the 2011 NEC. I have a "Kitchenette" that we are doing in a basement and the guys only pulled the 2 SABC for the countertop. They are feeding the Garbage Disposal off one of them. This Kitchenette is really small and just has a sink, counter space and a refrigerator. It has no cook top or oven.
I'm trying to see if it really qualifies as a Kitchen and subject to the 2 SABC....:?
