How should outlets be installed in a kitchen?

8/9/2018

The possibility of water and electricity mixing, is one of the most life threatening combinations in our homes today.  The modern home on the other hand demands an array of high tech equipment, ranging from the purest juicer to the broadest toaster not even naming the kettle, grill and bullet blender.  All of this equipment shouts for an outlet that needs to be safe and available.
​

Below are a few rules and regulations:
  1. On counter tops 12 inches or wider a receptacle must be installed so that there is no more than 24 inches between outlets.
  2. Kitchens used to serve counter tops should have at least two, 20 amp branch circuits, for small appliances
  3. Fixed appliances like a refrigerator, stove and dishwasher must have their own circuit
  4. All 15 and 20 amp receptacles within 6 ft of a wet bar or kitchen must have a G.F.C.I.
  5. For serve islands or countertops the receptacles must be installed above or within 12 inches below the countertop. They can be no more than 24 inches from center line of countertop

Electrical safety is the most important thing in everyday life. No matter where it is, it always threatens human life. Especially in an environment prone to contact with water such as the kitchen.
