We recently had branch circuits installed in an outbuilding.
Two 20 amp circuits were pulled to the building- so two hots, two neutrals and one ground.
One duplex self grounding receptacle was installed, in a 4 inch square box, surface mounted, with a raised metal cover.
The ground wire was terminated on the receptacle.
The other hot and neutral were capped with wire nuts for future use.
The future arrived, and the cover was replaced with a two gang cover, and a second self grounding receptacle was added.
The second hot and neutral were connected to the second receptacle.
No ground wire was attached to the second receptacle.
Is the only violation here that the metal box is not bonded to the cover with a jumper?
I am having the work redone with a ground pigtail to each receptacle, and to the box, regardless, but was curious as to the code compliance of the original single recpt., and the reworked two recpt configurations.
