Two GFCI Receptacles on one circuit

[Skip Erwin]

I'm sure this has been answered here before, but I couldn't find it by searching. Is there a problem with more than one GFCI receptacle on a circuit? Every once in a while I run across a situation where there is two GFCI receptacles on one circuit. Only one of them will trip. I don't know it's the most upstream or downstream one.

Its kinda like wearing 2 rubbers. You dont really need to, but it sure wont hurt anything.

HA HA! That's the best analogy I've heard in a while.

Doesn't everyone have that in their narrative already? Or just me?

Next question?

It will work but IMO it is very poor design due one or other can trip depending on it set up.

{ also if both GFCI are line feeded or line/load feeded set up it can change a bit }

As an alternative answer...

It's like wearing a belt & suspenders. You don't really need to, but is sure won't hurt anything.

On a recent inspection I did there were two GFCI's on one circuit. They each were in the bathrooms and they also protected one of the receptacles in the garage. When I used my tester to trip the circuit from the garage, both GFCI's tripped.
