Re: industrail recepticle
The NEC does not tell us what height to install outlets.
It is up to the customer, designer, installer.
Now which way up?

Re: industrail recepticle
You would normally put it where the user wants to have it.
If it's a counter top, then put it above the counter so that the cords don't have to extend across the counter and down to the floor. If it's a free standing desk, then put it down at 18" so that the cords on the desk can drop down over the edge of the desk. This keeps the desk looking cleaner. Also consider using a double-duplex at a desk. There are way too many plug strips being used throughout a commercial office.

Sorry I was just joking around, that question is kind of an inside joke around here.

Re: industrail recepticle
There is no requirement in the NEC for receptacles in commerical or industrial locations. Its entirely opposite the requirement for residential locations.

From the IBC: "buildings and their elements shall be accessible". From the 1998 ANSI A117.1...reach for those will disibilities extend from 15" to 48", AFF.
