I'm design an apartment kitchen. South wall of kitchen has fridge, range, and all the countertops. Counter runs up against east wall, and near it's end has a receptacle a few inches above it.
To the north, separated from the counter front by 3'-5", is the kitchen peninsula. The peninsula has a receptacle mounted on the wall just above it.
My question is, is a receptacle required on the wall between the peninsula and counter?
At first glance it is required by the general provisions of 210.52.A and 210.52.A.2.1. But, if I am reading it correctly, 210.52 allows the countertop and peninsula receptacles to be counted as being within 6' feet horizontally from any given point along the unbroken wall between counter and peninsula.
This seems pretty reasonable to me both with my interpretation of code and in a practical sense - there's not much that would get plugged into a receptacle located on the wall between the cabinetry, and if something WAS to need plugged in, its cord should reach to the receptacles on either side.
Thoughts?
