symbol

[ceb58]

Have a Question about a symbol on a set of drawing for a church. The ledged on the prints do not have this symbol on it. It is a sound room for the church. The symbols for the receptacles are a circle with 2 slash marks, standard symbol. These symbols are a circle with a # symbol. The only thing I can think of is they are wanting dedicated ground receptacles for the sound equipment.

Two duplex receptacles in one box. (double duplex)

Does it resemble any one of these?

Yep, it would be the quad.

Yep, it would be the quad.

I was thinking it was for a waffle iron

How come the symbols do not indicate type of ckt(s) to use. A quad outlet (dual duplex) could be lots of things, could be two duplex, or break the tabs and it's 4 singles with homeruns or MWBC's, etc.

There would have to be hundreds of symbols. Plans often have lines that represent cables/conduits with hash marks that represent conductor count, and arrowheads with circuit numbers that represent home runs.

Then that would be indicated on the drawing with something like Panel A CKT 1,3,5,7

A lot of the drawings I used to get would have the circuit number or numbers in super or subscript listed by the receptacle(s).
