Hey guys two questions about gfi receps. One is serious and one is hypothetical. The serious one would a island recept be considered to serve countertop surfaces. Im my opinion yes according to a buddy of mine the answear is no. SInce they arent above the counter. The other one is purely hypothetical. Acording to the code they are required in a bathroom. Well if you have a 2part bathroom as in a sink in one room then a door that leads into the lavortorie and a shower. So before 2005 requirement that one has to be installed within 6 ft of the sink. Would the code have required a gfi recep next to this sink? Like I said this is hypothetical the answear in common sense is you put one in. However is this code since the sink is not in a defined bathroom
