I am building a peninsula in my kitchen that will be approximately 5-6ft long and roughly 30 inches deep connecting into a post that makes up the corner of the kitchen/dining room/living room.
Code:
NEC 210.52 A receptacle outlet shall be installed at each counter space 12
inch or wider, and at each island counter or peninsular space 24 inch by 12
inch or greater. Receptacles shall be located not more than 20 inch above the
countertop, or where mounted below a countertop less than 6 inches beyond
the support base, not more than 12 inch below the countertop.
Code:
NEC 210.52 At kitchen countertops, receptacle outlets shall be installed so
that no point along the wall line is more than 24 inch measured horizontally
from a receptacle outlet in that space. Countertop spaces separated by range
tops, sinks or refrigerators are separate spaces.
Am I required to have outlets every 2ft on the peninsula or is one at the post ok? Am I going to need to install one on the end of the peninsula (I assume that I will be required to) and what is usually the best way to wire an outlet in a cabinet/counter-top peninsula? Just sleeve romex through flex conduit or sealtite?
I have a standard single gang plastic box mounted in the post for the outlet above the counter space, am I going to have to put in a metal box to transition to the BX to run through the peninsula? I can take some pictures if necessary to understand what I am talking about....
