SF Dwelling receptacle spacing...

[1793]

A wall by definition of the NEC, 210.52(A)(1)(2)(1),is 2'.

If a wall starts at a door opening and there is another door,30" wide, 2' away, then there must be a receptacle. Yes / No
I say Yes, what say you?

To carry this further, go 2' to yet another door, a receptacle is required there too. Yes / No
I say yes.

Yes every section of wall in a dwelling unit habitable room larger than 24" requires a receptacle.

Think of it like this every time you come to a door, opening or fire place strats a new wall section, a wall section needs a recptical with in 6' from the start. This works both ways also a door with a fixed panel starts at the moveable part.

Not all fireplaces break the floorline.

Geez Bob, those fireplaces are straight out of the 1970's.

Neither do I, but I do have a "Search Google Images" shortcut at the top of my screen.


I was impressed with your home brewed floor plan

I wonder how long it will take those admins to figure out the traffic being directed to their jpgs are being linked off site, stealing bandwidth.

Re: SF Dwelling receptacle spacing...

As great and popular as this site is I doubt it adds more than a blip in bandwidth to those sites.

I try to limit myself to reasonable sized images.

All the best similes are also off site images.

The image search that worked was "1970 fireplace"

Just messin' with ya Bob.

Re: SF Dwelling receptacle spacing...

That hideous fake wood paneling and weird colors of the fire places were the first clue.

Re: SF Dwelling receptacle spacing...

Locations often overlooked during a bid or rough in are: ?fixed panels in exterior walls? which is the no-sliding part of a sliding door, as well as ?fixed room dividers such as freestanding?railings? these hand rails are often overlooked and may require expensive floor outlets.
Also keep in mind though bathrooms, closets & laundries are not affected by this rule nor are hallways, which are in part (H) ?hallways of 10? or more in length shall have at least one receptacle outlet.? So a hallway 9?10?, (measured along the centerline without passing through a doorway.?), does not require a receptacle outlet.

This is something that I see quite often in my city, although I understand most people have never heard of such an installation:
