It's a 240v 30A stacked unit...in an opening that allows only the unit...and that is where you'd put the 120v?

Annnnnd, where is the laundry? Hopefully, near where 210.50(C) says it is.

"Hopefully" :confused:

Where does the NEC say the 120v must be even remotely " near where 210.50(C) says it is." ?

Going back to a question I asked previously:
Is an iron "laundry equipment"?

On the wall next to the unit. If it needs to go in the hallway, so be it.

Clarification: 210.50(C) says it's gotta be within 6' of the laundry.

Not as far as the NEC is concerned. Where is an iron (at least in a dwelling) referred to? I mean, other than 422.

So if the iron is not "laundry equipment", why does the 120v need to be within 6' of the "laundry"?

'Cuz the washer and dryer are laundry equipment.

The W/D are a 240v 30A combo unit...jammed into an "area" that is the exact dimensions of the combo unit.

Can the 120v required by 210.52(f) be on another floor?

Again, no. 210.50(C).

Yes, this way when they upgrade to a unit that requires both a 20amp/120v receptacle and a 30a 240v receptacle, its all good.

Here is a perfect example, I use to own a stack-pack laundry unit, it only required a 30amp 240 receptacle. then I bought two new appliances, they are still stackable, but each appliance requires its own circuit.
 
Okay. Talked to an inspector tonight at the 08 class I'm taking. I explained what we were talking about here. He chuckled and said, "Ask the AHJ. All you and I can do is speculate."

How many people would do that? I mean that, how many people would measure the space, or check the available power supply before buying new units? I know of 5 off the top of my head that would buy something like that, without checking anything first. I know of one of those 5 that would move walls, or have circuits changed, 3 of the other 4 would just stand around complaining, and the other one would hack some work up.

I know it's hard, but think like the "average" HO.

Back to the OP, yes, definitely talk to the AHJ when something like this comes up. It's easier to make a 5 minute phone call to check on something than it is to do it, tear it out, patch it up, and re do it.

Now, if I could just convince the guys at work about that one... :)
