Greetings to all!

QUESTION #1: Does a Laundry Room; in a "new" SFD, fall under the requirements for

countertop receptacle spacing? FWIW, this Laundry Room is totally separated from

the Kitchen Area and the countertops in there. (RE: Section E3801.4.1, 2006 IRC).

Thanks!

No, kitchen and laundry room requirements are separate, do not confuse them, or apply one to the other.

If they put a sink in the laundry room on the counter or have a utility sink all 125-volt, single-phase, 15 and 20 amp receptacles that are within 6 feet of the sink must GFCI. (2006 IRC, E3802.7)

Not everybody has a washer and dryer in the dining room.
