I am not aware of any current or old NEC requirements for a receptacle to be installed in a non-dwelling unit bathroom. Typically non-dwelling unit receptacle requirements are a design issue.

Are you asking if they need a recep at the sink or if a recep is installed it needs be a gfci?

I read the question to be, "Is a receptacle requied in a commercial bathroom".

In that case you don't have to have one in the bathroom.....BUT....if you do have one it needs to be GFCI. Does that make sense?:roll:

of course that makes sense...just put a blank cover on it if you have an outlet there instead of procuring and installing a gfci ....and then...:wink: you are done!

Yes, yes it does make sense.

You'd be surprised, Bob......or maybe you wouldn't :wink:

'spaln it to me. :smile:

The NEC is a safety code, it has no business forcing receptacles in every non-dwelling bathroom. But if the person paying the bills decides to put one in the NEC should require it be GFCI. In my opinion :smile:

I meant it wouldn't surprise you simple things not making sense to some people. Geez, you're so serious.

Oh, well that was not clear, I can't read your mind. :smile:

You can't read my mind either, I only type serious I am not serious in person.
