Not having a copy of the NEC with me, I ask a little assistance.
Is an under-the-kitchen-sink outlet, normally used for a disposal, required to be a GFCI protected outlet by the Natl Elec Code? Code Check says: "Receps within 6ft of wet bar, laundry, or utility sinks"...that's as close as it comes, but as we know, sometimes close isn't good enough. Thanks! |

I didn't look at Marcels references, but the answer is "no." The receptacle outlets beneath the sink do not require GFCI protection.
