I'm hoping to find a reference in the code dictating that a section of built in bench/box seats either needs to have outlets per the six foot rule or does not? My understanding from 210.52 (A) (1) is that floor space in front of the built in seats is considerable floor space needed to be compliant with, "Receptacles shall be installed such that no point measured horizontally along the floor line of any wall space is more than 6' from an outlet". My client would like to avoid the outlets. I have a fireplace with 8' of built in bench seat on both sides. So there would be no outlets along a span of wall measuring at 20' 6". Opinions, Insight, Interpretations, experiences with others interpretations are all welcome. I may be calling the inspector later this morning..
