I sit on a board that hears complaints between the contractor and the AHJ. In this case the AHJ does not want the receptacle to be within 2" of the tub/shower area. ( From what I hear.) I haven't sat on the case yet, but I hear what is going down through the grapevine. Anyway, if you agree or do not agree with the AHJ, about a receptacle within 2' of the tub/shower area, Is there a code section that he can cite? Is there something in the code that says a "Receptacle can not be within X" of the tub?" If so, let me know what that section is. I would need a chapter and verse that says that so that the AHJ can "hang his hat" on. OR is the contractor right. There isn't a code section that says how far a "RECEPTACLE", can be from the shower/tub area. There are sections in the NEC which talks about fans, pendant lights, etc.
Any thoughts?
