Section 210.52 of the National Electrical Code is packed with detailed requirements for receptacle outlet placement and spacing throughout a dwelling unit. For example, 210.52(C) lays out the rules for where and how receptacle outlets must be installed in kitchen countertops and work surfaces.
Whether you’re wiring a new home or updating an existing kitchen, getting this right is essential for both Code compliance and safety. The last thing you want is a homeowner asking, "Where do I plug in my coffee maker?" after the job is done!
Dive into the attached text and watch the video as Mike and the team walk you step by step through the key provisions of Section 210.52.
