MAXIMUM distance between outlets is 12ft. Don't believe there is a minimum. From a door way,6 ft maximum.

Once those have been installed you can install receptacles almost anywhere you want. In a bathtub would not be permitted as one bad example, but floors, ceilings or any place on a wall at any angle you like are permitted. __________________ Do not PM with questions that can be asked in a forum.
