Does anyone know if there is a limit on how many receptacles downstream that you can feed from a gfci?? I never really looked at this, I think maybe its in the manufacturers instructions.

There is no limit however extremely long distances between the line in and the end of the circuit can cause some issues.
I have heard 10 recep after the GFCI but have never seen that in print.
I think some manufacturer (P&S or Leviton) used to have 10 or 12 in their instructions. Used to.

Dennis,
Perhaps you are referring to "accumulated leakage".
In renovations, old circuits, and accumulated leakage can be a limiting factor.
The pass-thru contacts should be rated at 15A/20A,
but leakage is what the GFCI is all about.
