Re-wiring parts of my new house with the renovation project and I am curious if it is OK to run one 20 amp circuit for the outlets only in three bathrooms. The way I understand it, its ok for two bathrooms so long as its outlets only, or one bathroom lights and outlets on one 20 amp circuit is ok. Personally I hate dealing with 12gauge wire in a light box and would prefer to put the basement bath lights and fan on a separate circuit with the hall lights, bedroom lights and utility room/laundry room lights. Then another circuit for just the outlet, and eventually the upstairs bath outlets as well.
There are 3 bathrooms in total, basement bath, main bath, and master bath all right next to/above each other. Right now I am looking at a double switch box for the lights and fan with 14/2 in, and 14/3 out to the light box, continuing on to the fan/light combo with 14/3 as well. Then the basement bath outlet will have its own run of 12/2 in a separate box, potentially adding in a second outlet GFCI controlled since I have all the sheetrock off the walls at this point.
