Come on guys, you should all know by now that you never use common sense when using any codes!:grin:

The code doesn't say what you think it says

it doesn't. Some people just like to make up codes in their sleep.

We call 'em inspectors. :grin:

OK, to be fair, most don't. But the few that do really irk me.

Yes - I know I'm late....

The intent might be for other appliances - like an iron.

In another thread - I have mentioned just that... An old guy (now ~90 and still working) that I used to work for, and all of the older inspectors who have now retired used to inspect jobs here for that.... An outlet and circuit for the laundry equipment - AND one for the iron... I asked them often what this was for and the answer was always the intent was the same - for the iron... Granted this was usually in homes that had maids who did nothing but laundry for most of the day...

Note the use of the word "area", and of the ending in just "laundry" as if it were a kitchen. As well as no mention of "Equipment" as it would if it were describing a cicruit for equipment in any other part of the code...

(F) Laundry Areas. In dwelling units, at least one receptacle outlet shall be installed for the laundry.

And the same here - no mention of equipment for the outlet(s) - and that is should serve no other outlets - much like the familiar Kit CT outlets - or bath outlets.

(2) Laundry Branch Circuits. In addition to the number of branch circuits required by other parts of this section, at least one additional 20-ampere branch circuit shall be provided to supply the laundry receptacle outlet(s) required by 210.52(F). This circuit shall have no other outlets.

On a simular note - 20a outlets in the dining area.... Coffee machine and bain marie for service in the dining room at the side board....

It certainly does matter if your talking about this watered down draft they call american beer.

 

[MF Dagger]

This coming from a canadian? I think canadian beer is mostly water. I usually start with German wheat beer and then drink whatever is cheap.
