Is there a minimum distance for a gfi to be mounted from the sink?
I ask because in a office building I roughed in there weren't any drawings for a coffee cabinet in the conference room. No plumbing was roughed in.
They just merely said somewhere in this corner.
I came back yesterday with a crew to trim out and the plumber put their sink drain right under my friggin GFI. The cabinet ( sans coutertop ) mounted there makes it pretty obvious that my GFI is now centered above the sink. ( Facepalm...)
I looked for a minimum distance but couldn't find one. On of my apprentices said somebody told him you could mount a GFI in a shower if you wanted to. That doesn't sound right.
I'm sure I overlooked the spec but I'm sure can't seem to find it.
Thanks.
