Receptacle location?

[Barry Adair]

How close can an exterior GFCI protected receptacle be to a sillcock?

Code please

I'll post a picture this evening

[Jeffrey R. Pope]

They can be touching eachother. There is no separation requirement. . .

I would add that the covers for exterior receptacles are normally listed as being suitable for rain. This may not make they suitable for direct spray from an exterior spigot, however.

[Barry Adair]

Thanks for the replies from both of you
I did note that a wet exposure cover is now required

[Carl H. Lederhaus]

Good call. That looked a little close for me. I have never seen them that close before.

[Marc D. Shunk]

That's also a horizontal cover used in a vertically mounted receptacle. Even if you would buy off on a regular weatherproof cover, that's the wrong one.

there is the possiblity that the cover in the picture was installed before the advent of inuse covers. It is not a violation, but it is close to the spigot, which could be because of the access in the basement.
