Re: gfi
Only far enough to not be submerged in water.
Re: gfi
On a serious note 210-8(A)(7) If it is within 6' Also, if it is a kitchen, then all receptacles serving counter tops must be gfci. I guess I don't understand all the "silly" little comments aren't We all try'in to help and educate everyone and anyone when a question arises? Or did I miss something here?

Re: gfi
The question was not where are GFCIs required.
The question was "how far from a sink does a gfi need to be?"
The answer I gave while intended to be humorous was also accurate.
The NEC does not have a regiment that requires an receptacle outlet to be a certain distance away from the sink.
Triphase you did miss something, read the question again.

Re: gfi
Actually, the GFCI is not required to be anywhere near the sink. Don't mean to poke fun but the code only requires that the outlets within a certain distance must be protected by a GFCI circuit. The GFCI itself may be a breaker located in the service panel or any one of the outlets in the circuit as long as it is wired such that the outlets near the sink are protected.

Re: gfi
I would like to see the "In Use" cover for that application.

Re: gfi
But that would only apply under the 2005. In the 2002, indoor wet locations didn't need an "in-use" cover.Originally posted by iwire:
