Greetings to all!

QUESTION # 1: Is code Section E3801.6 referring to a simplex type receptacle, or

the commonly installed duplex type?

QUESTION # 2: If a duplex type receptacle is installed between two separate

lavatories, in the same elec. junction box (within the 36 inch dimension), ..is

this type of install compliant, or would a 4 plex type install be required?

Thanks for your input!

# 1. 3801.6 At least one wall receptacle outlet means one and not a duplex or two outlets.

# 2. yes, 4 plex not required.

It would require a duplex outlet with GFCI or two singles, one per sink.
