GFI Outlet in powder room
GFI Outlet in powder room
(OP)
Hello,
I have a powder room (sink and toilet) on the first floor of a 3-level townhome in Loudoun County, VA. There is no bedroom on this floor of the home.
There is NO electrical outlet in this powder room. I have been told by a home inspector that this is a code violation and that there MUST be a GFI outlet.
I understand that if there was an outlet, that it must be GFI protected, but with no outlet at all, is it required that I add a GFI outlet to this powder room?
If possible, please cite the code if you have it.
Thanks!!!
