An apartment owner would like all the old receptacles replaced with Decora. The ones close to the kitchen sink are not GFI recep. If I replace them am I obligated to install a GFI recep. which would mean the original split recep. would now only be a single circuit recep. To bad they don't make a GFI that could be split. Thanks
If this circuit is 20 amp it probly a single circuit however some area do allowed 2X 15 amp circuits. they can split at the receptale however not with GFCI unless you have two GFCI's at first point of split circuit run {two gang box set up }
Please do put the location due we have few Canadians electricians here so once we know your location we can able give you the correct code verison.
Merci,Marc
