Tamper Proof

[gbuschling]

Are tamper proof receptacles required in commercial work?

 

[480sparky]

Only if a local code or the specs do.

 

[chris kennedy]

No, see 406.11 in your 08.

Just for the record the NEC defines them as tamper resistant not tamper proof.

 

[ceb58]

Only if the plumbers keep sticking keys and paper clips in the recpt.

 

[Dennis Alwon]

Tamper resistant recep. are required in some patient care areas esp. pediatric areas.

 

[don_resqcapt19]

And will be required in elementary schools under the 2011 code.

Interesting take Don, so you are saying that an elementary school would be a child care facility in accordance with 406.14?

I will have to do a little more thinking on this one.
