Local inspector has turned down an installation that has a outlet for the washer installed below the washer water and drain connections. I maintain that while not a good practice it is not a code violation, because of the definition of a dry location. Do you agree? Is there other backup other than the definitions in the code book?

Re: dry locations

Put an in-use cover on it. :p

Receptalces end up in locations like that all the time without any problems. They can be installed directly behind or next to a basin in the kitchen or bathroom. They can be directly next to a shower or tub space. The can be below drinking fountains and sometimes within the outer case of the fountain.

Tell your inspector he's a moron.

Another story about mass production building from Allen...who would've guessed? :roll:

By the way, I've never heard of a wall oven that required only a 20 amp breaker. What's the deal?
