Bathroom GFCI

[Kevin.hndz]

Working on this small bathroom and was wondering as you can see there are 2 bathrooms one GFCI for each and one outlet for a electric heater. Would you say I can bring one dedicated feed for the GFCI and then come off the load side to everything else or should I run one dedicated line for each of the gfci's and then load side for the heater

The bathroom receptacles have 2 install choices
1. Run a circuit to the first bath receptacle and load side to the other
2. Run a circuit to first bathroom and everything in the bathroom is on that circuit. Then run another circuit to the other bathroom. You cannot leave the bathrooms to feed anything else.

Do not install anything but the receptacles on load side of the gfci

Your option 1 is too restrictive. Nothing precludes a home run to each bath. As long as the circuit feeds only bath receptacles, it doesn’t matter (code-wise) how the GFCI gets accomplished.

These didn't appear to be dwelling bathrooms so they can wired whatever way you want.

It's a middle school

The drawing isn't very good. It shows (guessing) either 208 volt or 240 volt supply to the heater with a thermal switch. Not sure if the receptacles have anything to do with the heat. Since this isn't a dwelling you can wire the receptacles however you choose.

According to the GC the heater comes with a standard 120 whip which is why he asked for the recepticle

How many watts are the heaters?

Tell the GC you need the cut sheets for the heater.

That would not violate the NEC, AFAIK.

If this is in a school, I would lean towards a GFCI breaker. Kids like to push buttons!

Not only that, but despite all the controversy over gendered bathrooms, I don't think it would be a good idea in a middle school to have to go into one bathroom to reset the GFCI for the other. GFCI breaker solves all issues.
