Outlet options

[Kspark34]

I am running circuits in a kitchen and have a long counter with a sink in the middle. There is no wall as it is an open pass through to a living room. Are there any other outlet options other than pop up’s in the counter or sill outlets in the face of the cabinets to cover the NEC for kitchen counters?

So this is essentially an island? What code cycle?

Dangle one from the ceiling with conduit, they'll love the look of their clean countertop.

2020 code. It’s more like a bar opened up to the living room. Wish I could post pictures.

Can’t wait to see the designers face when I propose that.

Is there enough "sill" to mount a plug-strip on? A pic would be helpful.

Why can't you post pictures?

Just posted. Didn’t see the attachment tab at the bottom.

I was hoping for a front view of the finished product: opening, trim, etc.

Maybe a finished house nearby with the same opening?

That's better.

A ten-foot+ opening with no lip or rise of any kind?!

Good luck!

Ask the AHJ if they'll accept receptacles facing each other in the opening.

The real fix is to have the architect re-design it with a chance of compliance.

I could try, but the designer is having trusses moved just to place lights where she wants them. Never seen anything like it before. No expense spared on this job.

Explain the electrical rules and ask him where the required receptacles should be placed.

If necessary, give him the inspector's phone number.

If no expense is spared, show them the price of the pop-ups and let them know how many you're going to need. That's a beautiful change order!!! $$$$$$$$$$

Two dishwashers?

Two dishwashers?

Do you think they'll even use the kitchen that much?
Probably for the 1/year family party. Doing dishes for 20-40 people is a pita for sure.

My daughter has two dishwashers. She also has 9 kids, so it's kind of necessary to have two. I told her she already had nine dishwashers!

I think that a more beautiful version of these would be the way to go.
