2-120v circuits in same junction box

[Coastalguy1]

I have a two gang device box with one single pole switch (circuit#1) & one GFI receptacle (circuit#2). Do I need to put a box partition to separate the two circuits? Can some help with a NEC code reference? The box is located in a restroom.

Thanks

No, there is no NEC requirement for a box divider in the situation that you mentioned.

404.8(B) requires a divider or separate box when adjacent switches have a voltage of 300 volts between them.

Also 406.5(G) requires the same thing for receptacles that are adjacent to switches or other receptacles that have a voltage between devices of 300 volts or more.

I say no. NEC 406.4(G) 2008 version . Thanks to Raider1 from an earlier thread. Voltage between circuits would have to be 300v for that requirement to kick in.

I wouldn't say that.

I would say that a code geek was able to post a code section a little faster than you is all.

That was nice of you to say, Chris, and, with all due respect, possibly quite accurate.

It is very accurate, just ask my wife she thinks I am a code geek.
