210.52 (C) (3) Peninsula Countertop Spaces 2017 Code Change

This weeks selection has to do with peninsular countertop outlet spacing and its change from the past Code.  It now requires one outlet measure from the connecting wall and not the connecting countertop.  Unless there is a sink or stove in the countertop there is only “one” receptacle outlet required (see 210.52(c)(4). 

210.52(C)(3) Peninsular Countertop Spaces. At least one receptacle outlet shall be installed at each peninsular countertop long dimension space with a long dimension of 600 mm (24 in.) or greater and a short dimension of 300 mm (12 in.) or greater. A peninsular countertop is measured from the connected perpendicular wall.
