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?

Moot point I just found out. Ge Appliances of Canada answered my email in
35 minutes time about the use of GFI/GFCI for their gas dryer. They do
NOT recommend any of their large appliances, esp gas stoves, gas ranges and
gas dryers be used with gfi because the igniters in these appliances will
always have a small "leak to ground" that will trip the gfi. In their email
they also included water softeners, microwaves and teevee monitors not be
connected to gfi.



so much for all of our ideas. Sorry for getting everyone all worked
up on my question....
