OK, so how is a box with a splice and a blank cover " A point on the wiring system at which current is taken to supply utilization equipment."?

Cheers, Wayne

Kirchhoff's current law requires that every point in a series circuit carries the same current. Therefore _every_ point in a wiring system has current taken to supply utilization equipment. From there see post #10 or #12. It is a violation to not have your electrical panel in the bathroom :) :) :)

I think an important colliery to Charlie's rule is that the code doesn't always say what the CMP thinks it says.

And the bath receptacle cannot be the GFCI protection if the wiring is the outlet. So the GFCI protection HAS to be at the breaker.

No.... wait.... the circuit starts at the bus bar.


So the MAIN BREAKER needs to be a GFCI.

Please see article 100 definition of Outlet. The language in 210.11 C 3 states bathroom circuits shall have no other outlets. IMO the inspector is correct. So perhaps use an inline splice and remove the outlet. Or if its a device box that a receptacle can be installed in, change to another type of junction box

You keep using that word "outlet". I do not think it means what you think it means.
 
I say no, the J-box is not an outlet and the inspector is wrong.

I also think the next six pages that will follow will be silly. :cautious:
