outlets on decks/porches

[Daddy-0-]

480 and Peaches...

I was only talking about a screen porch. Sorry if I was unclear. If a screen porch obviously with a door isolated the required exterior outlet we make them add another exterior outlet outside of the porch that is accessible from grade for servicing equipment etc. Of course this outlet is GFCI protected and wet location where appropriate. If it is a deck where the service man can still get to the existing outlet then it already complies.

one in front; one in back... one of them needs to be 25' and on the same level of equipment. I thought the Code said within sight, but can't find it.

Correct, 210.52(E)

2009NEC change requires one at a balcony or deck if over 20S.F. and the two required at grade, correct?

Correct, the 2008 NEC added section 210.52(E)(3) which in addition to the 2 grade level receptacles requires a receptacle on an balcony, deck or porch that is 20' square feet or more in area regardless of proximity to grade.

peach,



The 25 ft. requirement of installing the receptacle is from Art. 210.63.

The "within sight" requirement is referenced from Art. 100 - Definitions.

Also, see Art. 440.14 [ disconnecting means on air conditioning

equipt. ]. The [ max. ] distance of "within sight" is 50 ft.
