Who would want recepticals face up? You have no idea how many times I have been asked for just that in both residential and commercial over the last 15 years.....
Steve, luckyshadow.... Note the OP is being questioned by the boss as to why it might not pass, which is why I replied with questions as the premis to the codes posted, otherwise its fine, barring the AHJ not feeling the same way....
There is no min hieght, unless the ADA has a play.....
Where I am, a receptical behind or for that matter under it are not considered accessible unless it is clear that it complies with 422.33, or on wheels. (Seen on with a hatch in the oven for access...) Otherwise it goes in the cabinet adjacent. Right next to the gas shut off if any....
Neither mountain, or mole hill....
