ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues GFI - water heaters

John in your thread the bathroom has already eliminated the question if we are talking about 15 and 20 amp 125 volt receptacles. 210.8(A)(1) and 210.8(B)(1)

The 2005 code requirement for GFI's in kitchens (article 210.8 (B) other than dwelling units), is ridiculous. No exceptions? GFI protection for every outlet?

ShockMe77, in reality, this is not changed from the 02 cycle. The 05 added some clarity / definition to commercial kitchens.

ShockMe77,
This is not an outlet, it is direct wired into an instant heat water heater.

Hey Roger, I had the feeling your guys were thinking this heater was connected to a receptacle but thought I might be missing something. I hope you are having a good weekend.
