My inspector is telling my I have to install a cord and receptacle for the disposal. Is this part od the NEC requirement? I do realize that if I do install a receptacle under the sink it needs to be GFI protected. my main question is, is it required by NEC?

why is the wall switch not a disconnect? we use the same switch for a gas furnace workmans switch
Receptacles installed for disposals, dishwashers, and trash
compactors are not required to be protected by GFCIs
Where does it say this in the NEC?
210.8(A)(7) Sinks — where receptacles are installed within 1.8 m
(6 ft) of the outside edge of the sink
210.8(D) Kitchen Dishwasher Branch Circuit. GFCI protection
shall be provided for outlets that supply dishwashers
installed in dwelling unit locations.
good to know, never thought about decora switches.
I bet no one would get called on it.... I have seen it done all overgood to know, never thought about decora switches.
The 2014 states they must be gfci protected.
Dishwashers yes, not disposals which is what the OP is dealing with.
If it is cord and plug then it must be gfci protectedDishwashers yes, not disposals which is what the OP is dealing with.

This is correct, but if the disposal is served by the same "outlet" as the dishwasher then it would be required. It's important to point out that "outlet" does not mean "receptacle".
The 2014 states they must be gfci protected. Luckylerado must be on the 2011.
Well his profile says 2014 but it is clear that gfci is required for dishwasher, etc, They removed the words except kitchen in this section.
Well actually I could hard wire the GD from the outlet and install a GFCI receptacle in the same outlet just for the DW.
The OP is dealing with a hard wired GD.
What I have just learned.... There are way too many ways to wire this set up lol. Why don't they just make all 120V recepts GFCI protected and just be done with it already. I know it's eventually going to be this way so it could save everyone a lot of trouble right about now.
If you installed an arc fault breaker and not a dual function AFCI/GFCI breaker then you do not have GFCI protection for the GD. You may need a GFCI protected outlet even if you do not have a receptacle. What code cycle?in this case we installed a separate 120 volt 15 amp circuit for the dishwasher and hard wired it, installed a single pole switch to activate the disposal, and installed an arc fault breaker. The inspector told me I must install a GFI receptacle under the sink and an appliance rated cord to the disposal. I don't believe this is correct.
