Re: GFI Recpt.

Fair enough when you post it can take a little while to show up, I am sorry if I offended you.

As far as the question you asked Tony has provided correct information as far as how many outlets of any type you can put on a circuit in the different occupancy's.

The part I gave you 110.3(B)

110.3(B)Installation and Use. Listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling.

Is a general rule, to find the answer to your specific question you will need to look at the instructions that came with the GFCI outlet to see if there is any limit to downstream loads on that particular unit.

And as Tony said there could be a local amendment that has a limit.

I took a quick look in the UL white book and could not find anything about limits to the number of outlets allowed on the load side of a GFCI.
