Hello Sparky

I spoke with a C-H rep and they are very interested with the 'field' information. If you do not hear back from them in a timely fashion, maybe try contacting them again.

210-12(B) SAYS RECEPTACLE OUTLETS, WHY ARE CEILING FANS ON THEM?

210-12(b) says receptacle outlets.

210.12(B) says outlets.

The '99 210.12(B) references receptacles, '02 210.12(B) references outlets. So it depends on which code your jurisdiction is enforcing.
