two-fold question on GFCI circuit in kitchen

[wondervamp]

Hello,

I have a GFCI circuit in kitchen as follows:

There are four plugs on this circuit, the first is correctly wired with a GFCI receptacle with line coming in to the line side and load side out to next plug which is a duplex plug, on to the next plug which is also a duplex, but the last one is an old GFCI plug which I just plan on keeping because I am being cheap but I want to make sure it is wired correctly. I know that it makes no sense if wiring new this way with another GFCI plug as a load and is a waste of money - but in my case, it is already there and I don't want to change it out until I remodel the kitchen.

Here are my TWO QUESTIONS:

1) this end of line GFCI plug - does it get fed at the line or load side?

2) does each plug on the GFCI circuit have to be 20A rated - GFCI plug AND duplex plugs?

Thanks

The GFCI on the end of the circuit gets wired to the line side terminals. As for your second question 20 amp receptacles are not required check out 210.21(B) and the associated table 210.21(B)(2).
