I added 3 outdoor GFCI outlets (intended for light-duty use) and power for an outdoor ceiling fan.

Used 12/2 Outdoor cable, tapped into an existing 20A circuit that was powering 3 outlets in the kitchen.

I live in Tennessee.

Thanks.

well, if you get it inspected you will fail....you can't have your kitchen outlets on with outside gfi's...

The kitchen outlets are CFCI as well...does that make a difference?

no, the kitchen outlets can only serve the kitchen, pantry, dining room, breakfast area etc...therefore, you can't put the outside outlets on with this circuit...you need to come off something else, or run a new homerun

Or just keep your mouth shut and let it go. :laughing: I personally do not see any safety concerns, but it is a violation of the NEC. :no:

No, bad idea to tap off the kitchen circuits
By code they are dedicated for the kitchen only
