So I spent yesterday removing and installing a new water heater in my basement - existing recep for the cord and plug power vent is a single recep on a 15 amp breaker. I have no problem changing that out to a GFI - but my question is do I have to, - does the exception in 210.8(A)5. (exception 2) say I'm not required to install one?? -

Probably been asked a million times...

Thanks guys!

If you replaced water heater but never did anything with receptacle except unplug old unit and plug in new unit - nothing about the receptacle needs changed, presuming it was allowed to be non GFCI protected when it was initially installed.
