In article 210.50(D) I was always under the impression that it ment each basin will have its own recepticle within 3ft of its basin edge, through reading it again (for the 500th time) Im beginning to chane my mind thinking the basins can share the outlet if the y are within the legal limit. Just wanted to see what some others thought . Thanks in advance to any response.

Re: Bathroom outlets
Hi nathan,
"within (3 ft) of the outside edge of each basin."
Note: Does not say "each and every".
Let's say you have 2 basins and they are installed so that the edge of the one on the right is 6' away from the one on the left, you need one receptacle. (within 3'of the right and within 3' of the left)
Kind of like the rule of 12' for other receptacle spacing.("Receptacles shall be installed so that no point measured horizontally along the floor line in any wall space is more than 1.8 m (6 ft) from a receptacle outlet.")
Hope this helps,
Dave
