I have a receptacle 4' from a laundry sink in a laundry room, does this require a gfi? 210-8 says no. The old within 6' of a sink rule is gone, isn't it?
Of course this could still be changed at the May meeting, but I don't think that will happen.Panel Meeting Action: Accept in Principle
Revise the text in 210.8(A)(7) to read as follows:
?(7) Laundry, Utility, and Wet Bar Sinks. Where the receptacles are installed within 1.8 m (6 ft) of the outside edge of the sink.?
Panel Statement: The panel has revised the title to include sinks other than those in kitchen and bathroom locations because they are covered by other provisions. The panel deleted the reference to countertop surfaces because not all laundry sinks are installed in a countertop.
