Will this pass building code inspection ?

[T.Lex]

I can no longer brag about the size of my ignore list, it's down to just a single individual that just has worthless drivel in his posts... I'll keep him on the list...

I'll try to avoid quoting chezuki, then.

So, will it pass building code inspection or not?

Let's not concern ourselves with trivial things. Mkay?

There is nothing in the NEC that dictates the required height of electrical outlets.

I beg your pardon? Judgmental people like you are the reason I don't partake of the dialogue here as much as I used to.

I would hope that if we were in the same room, that we could resolve our differences like men - politely and perhaps over a beverage. IF you are interested, PM me and we can make the proper arrangements.

I may have edited that a bit, but I think it conveys the idea.

How you picture other INGO members:

There are a lot of opinions and local driven standards, but "There is no standard". Outlets can be installed at whatever height is comfortable for the intended use. The only NEC requirement is that you must be within 8 foot of an outlet along any wall. Outlets may no longer be located directly under a window. A common height for a wall outlet is between 12 to 16 inches to the bottom of the device. In rare instances, outlets are still installed in baseboards and in the floor with proper box/covers.

Just my two cents.....

Back on topic, if you're doing your own work inside of interior structure, you don't even need a permit in the first place, correct?

And most times, if you're not mucking with structural elements, you don't need permitting either.

Our contractor wasn't required to do any permitting when remodeling our kitchen last year (Finished 1 year ago today, actually). And that work included a few more outlets, and new hard-wired lighting.

I wish people would stop quoting him. He's on my blocked list, so I only see his awful posts when others quote him.

Um, he's now banned, so you don't have to worry about it.

We can still quote him all we want, he just won't be releasing any new material.

CM! Get in here and approve it as signature material.

Reported for attempting to bypass the language filter...

Is that twice as bad as merely 4itching?

What is the reasoning for no longer putting outlets under a window? Water intrusion?
