Ironing board - breaker lockout

[wvilardi]

My inspector recently called for a breaker lockout for a built in ironing board. Has anyone else had to do this, this is a first for me.

hmmm, has there been some full contact ironing that's created a problem?.....~RJ~

If it is a built in hard wired appliance, then 422 disconnecting rules apply.

The built in ironing boards I'm familiar with are simply a fold out Ironing board that has a receptacle inside to plug an iron into. I would not consider it an appliance.

Certainly if it has a receptacle then that would be the disconnecting means. Is this ironing board hardwired?

If it isn’t hard wired, I get to change my answer.

The question is, is a ironing board an appliance? All it has is a receptacle in it. :?

 

[wvilardi]

Yes it is hardwired.

There is no requirement for a breaker lock on a receptacle, but there are many justifications to call a receptacle a disconnecting means.

Yes it is hardwired.

Receptacle or hard wired???

The board enclosure has a hardwired receptacle, to plug the iron into. Like usual.

The receptacle is hard wired in the ironing board assembly.

Well, phooey. I was thinking hard wired. In that case, yes, cord connected appliance can use the connection to receptacle as disco.

Yeah, I got that now. :slaphead:

So the inspector is requiring a breaker lockout for a receptacle. Not required.

That's what I thought. Doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks for all the posts.
