Jim W in Tampa said:If you call it a den ,living room,family room,garage,laundry,bathroom or a closet and it has no closet then no you dont need afci.And if its a bedroom then it must be 100% a bedroom and that require egress,smokes and outlets within the 6 foot and 2 foot rules of habitable room.
stickboy1375 said:Can you tell me where your getting your definition that a bedroom has a closet?
Thanks for the reply. The two examples in the NECH explanatory text are not worded as an exclusive set. The definition of outlet includes the two examples after the Article 100 definition of "Outlet", but is not restricted to only those two items. Case in point: Consider the hardwired residential oven, an oven with a factory installed flex whip attached to the Premises Wiring (System) at a junction box mounted on the wall behind the oven.finhead said:Sorry. I forgot to mention that the examples I refer to are in the Handbook under the definition of outlet.
In addition, I would like to hear from anyone who can find a reference in the NEC that refers to a switch outlet. For example, Article 210 talks about receptacle outlets and lighting outlets.
Jim,Jim W in Tampa said:A bedroom is that area on the stamped print that says BEDROOM.Now some areas might call rooms with a closet a bedroom.But then that takes us to the next problem.What is a closet? If its also a bedroom then it lacks a closet.And in that case what you have is 2 rooms,one very small and one large.Neither of them can be called bedrooms because there is no closet.Did that help any ?
