Hand Dryers for a commercial rest room

[goldstar]

I'm installing (2) hand dryers in rest rooms at a day camp facility food pavilion. It seems that the kids keep throwing the paper hand towels down the toilet and clogging up the waste lines (BTW, this is a septic system area). Does anyone know if they are required to be GFI protected ? As an opinion, should I do it anyway to cover my butt ? BTW, I haven't opened the boxes yet to determine what the manufacturer's recommendations are. Thanks.

Nothing in the NEC that I know of. But there may be a local Code or customer requirement as well.

This why I'm pro-abortion, this problem could have been solved early on. Now I can't get a paper towel and have to use those darn blow dryers. :happysad:
