210.52(C)(2) Island and Peninsular Countertops and Work Surfaces 2020 Code Change (12/31/23 in Florida)

New for the 2020 Code is a big change to Islands and peninsulas and work surfaces.  You will have to calculate the square footage of the surface and figure out how many receptacle outlets are needed.  The first 9 sq. ft or less gets one and then and additional one for every 18 sq. ft or faction thereof.  Then looking at part (b) at least one outlet shall be located within 2 ft. of the outer end of a peninsular or work surface, and the rest being located per the installer, designer, or building owner.

We would like to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Till Next Year be safe, party safe, and work safe.
