Does garbage disposal need to be gfi protected?
Ronald Perez
A
Answer:
Hey Ronald thanks for your question. Not specifically. The five types of appliances in 422.5(A) must have GFCI protection under the conditions stated. If the manufacturers instructions require GFCI protection then it must be provided as stated in 110.3(B). Additionally if it is supplied by a receptacle and the receptacle is in a location described in 210.8 then GFCI protection must be provided.
