Kitchen Islands 2023 NEC

[kwired]

My counter top vendor drilled my opening as part out their base cost. My outlet is recessed so it is flush with the counter top until it is popped up. No crumb build up not as ugly as faucets.

I was at one house where the contractor installed side mount receptacles. One end had a receptacle just to the left of a sink, I think the counter space was 4" on which to put the crockpot.

The side with only 4" wouldn't have required a receptacle in past NEC editions. Not prohibited but also not required. 2026 code however does prohibit it unless it is 24" or more below the top.
