Our county is under 2008 NEC. In our house we have a standard duplex receptacle on the wall of a kitchen. It's on a 20A circuit and it's the only outlet on the circuit. A microwave and clock radio are plugged into it. It's not on the same countertop as the sink, but on the opposite wall 9 feet away from the edge of that sink, on what I'm not sure is considered a countertop (assuming it is, it's a small section). Picture below. 210.8(A)(6) (6) says "Kitchens — where the receptacles are installed to serve the countertop surfaces."
I'd like to replace this receptacle with a GFCI duplex receptacle -- OK to use one here? Thanks.
