I have a customer who has hot water fed baseboard heat in most of his house. They would like to have a few recpt's installed above the baseboard heaters, as this is the only option because they go all the way around the room, covering 90% of the walls. Water fed heaters don't get nearly as hot as electric heaters, you can touch these ones at any time when they are on, and never even think about burning or scorching your hand. I looked in the code, but was unable to find any reference to water fed baseboard heaters. The code clearly states that you cannot put recpts over electric heaters, but I need to know if it's legal to install them in this situation, over the water fed ones... any help would be nice, I can't find anything in the code that helps one way or the other. Common sence tells me to think this might be an exception to the rule, as there is not enough heat present to do any harm.
