Question:
Good morning CQD. If a receptacle is installed within 3 feet of a shower or tub, would removing the receptable and installing a blank cover plate remove the code violation? Thanks, Mike Tripp
A
Answer:
Mike, thanks for your question. In short yes, removing the receptacle device and installing the appropriate cover plate, would mean there is no longer a receptacle present in the zone specified in Section 406.9(C). It is always advisable to consult with the AHJ on matters like this, as to clarify your intent.
