As far as I know, a GFI ckt is not required for any type of water heater under a sink, correct?

If we are talking residential you are correct.

Wait a minute...Under the 2002 I agree with Roger 100%. Under the 2005, however, it would be required, unless the sink is located in a kitchen, as per 210.8(A)(8).

Ryan, did you mean 210.8(A)(7) of 2005?
And yes, I was using 2002 in my reply

Roger

Sorry roger, thats what I get for not looking up my references!

Ryan, why would GFCI protection be required? 210.8 only applies to 15 and 20 amp 125 volt receptacles.

Curt

Hello Curt, I was assuming a cord and plug connected unit and think Ryan was as well.

Roger

This is at our church a commercial building. Its a 30 amp 120 volt circuit.

Not required for a 30 amp circuit.

At last! I found it!

Last 12/28/04, I posted a pic of this in the "Photos for Discussion" forum. The last comment was on 1/10/05.

Look for thread titled "GFCI- needed here?"

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)

Roger

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.

Roger

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.
