I am going to connect an outdoor fan directly to connections in a 15
amp electrical outlet, which in turn is connected to the main power
panel.
The fan will have a remote control unit, the actual remote control
'clicker' will be inside the home.
All romex, connections, remote control unit, etc will be hidden above
the porch ceiling.
Question: In so much as there will not be an on-off switch for the fan
other than the remote control 'clicker', is this considered acceptable
practice per code?

Clarification needed. *If you mean hard wired into the outlet, no, it is not
up to code as there must be a disconnect.

Is that disconnect requirement specific to outside fan installs? I
see plenty of installs done inside all the time with the unit wired
direct without a switch and using only a remote control. Do those
meet code or not?




*If you mean plugged in with a
typical cord and plug, I don't think you'd have a problem as there is a
manual, physical disconnect.

Local code may vary so check with proper authorities. *"I read it in a
newsgroup" does not carry a lot of weight with building inspectors for some
reason.
