I just have a couple basic questions for a new single family dwelling
installation.
1. If the home will have more than one bathroom can the required GFCI outlets
for both be fed from the same 20 amp branch circuit or does each bathroom need a
separate, dedicated circuit from the panel?
2. Can the front and back GFCI outlets be fed from some nearby general purpose
outlet - (say, a bedroom receptacle)? Can one of them be fed as "Load" from the
other one so only one GFCI type needs to be purchased?
3. Is there any consensus about keeping lighting circuits separate from
receptacle circuits? Or can you just feed switches for lights in a room from the
nearest receptacle (assuming the wire size and device rating, etc, is
maintained)?
4. We will have a 30 inch long peninsular countertop - no overhead cabinets. Can
the required receptacle be mounted in the wall that that countertop joins or do
I somehow have to figure a way to mount a receptacle and run the cable in the
storage cabinet underneath? It doesn't sound to me like such a great idea having
wiring and a box exposed in a cabinet but I have no idea how else to meet this
requirement.
5. One last one: in most new homes are the general purpose receptacle and
lighting circuits wired for 15 or 20 amp?
Thanks for any advice,
Perion
