GFCI protection?

I don't think anyone is arguing that the receptacles on the kitchen countertops don't need GFCI; we know that those receptacles do need GFCI. The issue is the receptacles in the living room, near the floor. There is no code requirement for them to be GFCI, even if they are within the reach of a 6 foot cord from the receptacle to the kitchen sink.

Kitchens "not a wet bar" Where the receptacles are installed to serve the "countertop" receptacles are required to be protected by GFCI. We see this all of time. Key word is "serve counter tops" 6' rule does not apply, not a "wet Bar"

What is a wet bar?

IMO, I believe they slipped when they wrote this. What is the difference between a kitchen sink and a wet bar sink? How is a kitchen sink not as dangerous as a utility sink when you drop an appliance into it?

Can a kitchen sink not be used for mixing drinks?

Can a Nascar driver not also drive a minivan?

Larry, that is hilarious.

Now, save the moderators the trouble, and erase it.

A NASCAR driver could indeed drive a minivan. Somehow, I just don't see it happening
