Anyone know of a single outlet GFI device, Doing a resteraunt kitchen (2002 code) with a bunch of dedicated appliances, and being forced to utilize twin breakers.... Otherwise they'll all be duplex devices....

I have never seen such an animal. Can you switch around some circuits in the panel? Take some non gfci circuits and put them on the twin breakers leaving you full spaces for gfci breakers.

I remember one time we had the same type of problem. We installed the combo GFI switch. Then just hooked the switch side to the GFI side. Then you have a GFI protected outlet with a disconect switch.

You could use a dead front GFCI device and a single receptacle in a 1900 box.

Yall kno, SOS... Rich enough to open new resturaunt, poor enough to not want new panel.... Trying to mash the joint on to a 20/40 100A sub fed-thru 100A Main with dist. Haven't done total circuit count yet, and doubting boss's quick calc ability, but darn sure I will be twinning most...

Anyway...
Single recepts will only be required for eqipment fastened in place. But I don't want to have a duplex for the things like a 14.5A toaster, (not fastened) and accomadate people who look at outlets as unlimited power sources. "Hey, look, theres an extra outlet behind the toaster!" Or the 2 11A blenders next to eachother, "We'll just move these over here, and get 2 more..."

Tom and gfretwell, dems not a half bad ideas...

Might look into dead front and single in 2G plate.

E57:
Leviton makes a single GFI with a sp switch combo device. $20-$25 range, I think. Other than that....
Dead front, single recept as above.

John

This is the only one I've ever come across....

Lostazhell:
Is that 'available' to buy??? Or is it something you came accross???

John

It won't matter when the place burns down. Maybe then they will have some respect for electricity. Friggin cheapskates.

That GFCI receptacle is a Bell device.

(while they were still owned by SQ D)

I did a bit of looking around. The Leviton 8299 is a combination GFCI with a single receptacle and a single pole switch. The only problem with it is that the switch is rated for 8.3A. Also the receptacle is a 15A receptacle, so you couldn't use it on a 20A circuit.

Pass and Seymour list 15A GFCI receptacles with 15A switches, and 20A GFCI receptacles with a night light in place of one of the receptacle outlets.

I'm sure that other manufacturers make devices where one 'outlet' of the GFCI is replaced by something interesting.

Now Scott thats not very nice... We have already had the conversation about why its a bad idea, and thay have already deleted a lot of equipment.

Jon, night-lights sound interesting, as they would all be behind equipment, like back lighting at night. I like the idea of a glowing coffee machine.

Lostazhell, when was that style of GFCI receptacles used, I have only ever seen one of them in real life - at an airport. I would like to get my hands on one to add to my collection!

Required by who?

Not the NEC.
