I am getting to the end of a kitchen reno. This is a galley style
kitchen. On one side of the kitchen is the sink, where I will put GFI
outlets. On the opposite wall there is just cabinets with
counterspace. Am I correct that no GFI outlets are required on the
opposite wall since there is no sink? Is there a distance requirement
where GFI should be located from the sink and does that apply to the
same counter, or overall distance from the sink no matter where you
are standing?

protection


The electricians who did my kitchen said that only outlets within a
certain distance from a water source (either two or three feet, IIRC)
had to be GFI. The remaining countertop and island outlets were
standard. The instpector passed it.
