Care to elaborate what kinda equipment? 210.8(C) and (D) come to mind, article 680 also comes to mind.

If there is an "outlet" involved (as opposed to a receptacle) 210.8(C),)(D) & (E)
and, as mentioned, Art 680
and Art 422.5

No requirement for a water heater to be GFCI protected.
They do need to be grounded, but not GFCI protected.

The minimum character requirement is for a new thread only. Any post after the OP doesn't require a minimum. Also, I believe the minimum is 100 characters.
We have tried to get it changed but was told it was just the way the software is set up by the mfg.
