Switches distance bathrooms

[Dino Carfora]

What is the correct distance of switches froma shower?

 

[kbsparky]

any distance is acceptable, as long as the switch is not located inside of the shower enclosure.

You stand corrected.

680.41.

680.41 does not apply to single family dwellings. Look at 680.43(c)

Hence the 'correction'.
