Scenario:
A 36 inch (width) range. On either side of the range, a receptacle is installed 1 foot from the range. This makes the receptacles spaced at 5 feet. More than the countertop requirements permits, but less than 12 feet.
So which requirement am I trying to meet? Both, one or the other.
Does the countertop receptacle placed less than 5 1/2 feet above the finished floor fulfill the "wall space" requirement.
I say that the space behind the range is not required to be counted as wall space [210.52(C)(5)] and therefore does not require a receptacle placed there...in my mind a horrible location for a receptacle as it invites a safety hazard worse than if it was not there.
