| re-wiring kitchen was wondering if 3gang box receptacle(12/2 from circuit) and 2 3way switches(14/3 and 14/2) can be in same box as long as everything is GFCI. Thanks |

| The lighting circuit is not required to be GFCI protected. More importantly, the 14 ga wired lighting must be on a 15 amp circuit, not the 20 amp circuit that the receptacle is probably on. |
|
| No problem putting them in the same box. Tie all the grounds together. Keep the neutrals from the two circuits separate. |

| Thanks alot. Light switches are aprox 2' from sink still ok if not GFCI'd? |
