| OK, I am confused!
We're roughing in the new electrical circuits this weekend. We know that we need either:
1) one dedicated 20A circuit that feeds nothing else but the bathroom
-OR-
2) one 15A circuit for lighting and fan (that can also serve another room) AND one 20A circuit for receptacles that can alos serve another bathroom but nothing else.
We know all receptacles as well as overhead shower lighting must be GFCI protected, and that if we go with option 1 above, at least some overhead lighting should be upstream of the GFCI so it won't go dark if that trips.
Questions:
??????? Do bathroom have the same receptacle requirements as other rooms (i.e. one outlet on each wall, no spot further than 6' from an outlet)?? That would mean 5 outlets in our 13' x 6.5' bathroom! (I do know the sink-spacing requirements for the vanity GFCI.)
??????? Does the recessed light fixture over a soaking tub need to be a waterproof one and GFCI protected, like the one in the shower stall?
Thank you!
