Guys, I have had some people tell that half-hot plugs can be counted towards code required outlets in a room and some people tell me that they do not qualify as a code required plug. which is it?
Thanks
Joe
 
The key words are 1/2 hot. As long as one of the two receptacles on the duplex is constantly hot it counts towards the 6'/12' wall spacing rule. Just for clarity try to avoid using the word plug to describe a receptacle.
