Since you ID'd them as wall space, guess what I said?
Well, gee, they are walls aren't they?
We're not talking about the floors and ceilings now!

You should have clarified free standing or built-in.

This may be part of the reason that we are butting heads.
Then 'splain to me the difference between a built-in wall and a free-standing wall.
...are you trying to apply a 'general provision' to an entire section? If so, keep reading sec 210.52. Look at fig 210.52(C)(1)
That's for receps service c'tops.
...the wall space behind the counter top range is exempt

Only if installed in the countertop. Figure 210.52(C)(1).
...you say your talking about 'wall space,' than I think you need to explain the exact situation your questioning! Who puts a dishwasher in an 'open wall space' (no counter to left or right, just walls:-?)
OK; the exact situation is:
You're having your final done. The appliances are two weeks out, and not part of you contract. There's an opening between the cabinets for the DW, but it's not installed. Can the inspector require a receptacle there because it's a 24" wall space?
And I will ask again, in vain hopes that someone will answer:
WHAT DO COUNTERTOPS HAVE TO DO WITH CONSIDERING IT A WALL SPACE REQUIRING A RECEPTACLE?
I feel like I'm watching Abbott & Costello's Who's on First?
"STAY OUR OF THE INFIELD!"
We're talking about wall spaces, NOT COUNTERTOPS!

480 << can't capitalize the 4 it =$:roll:
never mind misread again
I did have an inspector once try to apply 210.52(A)(1) once to these spaces but all I got to say it was a bad beat with the state on my side.:grin:
