I have come across some fancy dandy homes with the "Towel Warmer Rake", 20 amp 125 volt circuit ran to it, next to their jacuzzi tub ( Art. 680) and I required the L.E.C. to have it GFCI protected, (just cause I thought I could), but, I am not sure exactly how I would enforce such a rule, if push come to shove. Any help here?

If it's a "rake" I don't think it has to be even if it's cord connected.

If it's a "rack" and cord and plug connected, yes. It doesn't matter what it's for. If it's in the bathroom then it must be GFCI protected.

Roger that, my rake should of been a rack, sometimes my mind wanders when I think of rack, (hunting and all). my rake is in the shed.
 
i've installed these, and the instructions required GFCI protection (hardwired). One of the legs mounts to a junction box, which is fed from a GFCI protected switch.

Something else comes to mind when I hear the word Rack:D
