Question:
Hello CQD,
An outlet under sink for small tankless water heater 120V is installed. Is GFCI required for the outlet?
Danny Brown
A
Answer:
Danny,
If you are referring to an outlet (direct connected to an outlet box with no receptacle), GFCI is not required, however, if by the mention of the term "outlet" you mean" receptacle", the GFCI requirements in 210.8 for receptacles would be applicable in the locations mentioned in that section. See the definitions of the terms receptacle and outlet for clarification.
Hope this is helpful.
