Got a 15 amp split receptable mounted on a studded basement wall for a
washing machine and gas dryer. * I want to install a laundry tub about 4
feet away. *Code here says that outlet has go to be gfci *(1.5 metres or
about 4.5 feet from the "sink") but I cannot find any 15 amp split
receptacle gfi outlets. * The wire is 14/3 so I can't do like the kitchen
20 amp near the sinks...
are there 15 amp gfi split receptacle outlets? *I see none available in my
juistiction (ontario)... * Is this because it has to be gfi at the breaker
and not allowed at the outlet?
It's probably because they can't fit all the electronics into the size of a
receptacle. You could change the box to a double and install two gfci
outlets, or if you have piles of money to blow, you could get a double pole
15 amp gfci with neutral circuit breaker

RBM...serious question...since you know a lot more about this than
me...
Everybody's idea of a "pile" is different.
This link shows a 15 amp 2 pole GFCI breaker for $25.

Do you consider that a "pile of money" or is that not the type of
breaker you were referring to?
Wouldn't 2 GFCI's, a double box and face plate cost close to that -
and take a lot more work to install?
