Re: Diningroom
The dining room receptacles are required to be connected to the two or more 20 amp small appliance branch circuits. See 210.52(B)(1).

Re: Diningroom
What I have not been able to figure out is what constitutes a dining room? Im many homes, the kitchen area and the dining area are not necessarily separated by a dividing wall. I have been in homes where the dining room was not an isolated room from the living room. How does one determine whether the small appliance circuit rule applies in these situations?

Re: Diningroom
Bob,
Just feed the receptacles in the room in question with a 20 amp circuit that serves only that room. That will always be in compliance with the code.

Re: Diningroom
Dining rooms and breakfast nook area receptacles can be either dedicated receptacle circuits for these areas,or tied into kitchen G.F.I. circuits either before or after the gfi device.We try to use the layout of the home to determine how to feed them.Usually the dining area is closer to the panel from than the kitchen so we feed these off one kitchen circuit.The 2nd circuit is fed to either the counter top circuits or the nook receptacle circuit depending on proximity to the panel.The ahj here wants these circuits to be pretty well balanced.
