Branch Circuits & WiringQuestion 131 of 521
For a one-family dwelling, how many outdoor receptacle outlets are required, and where?
a.One, at the front only
b.One, in the garage
c.None
d.At least one at the front and one at the back, accessible from grade
Explanation
Section 210.52(E)(1) requires at least one receptacle outlet accessible from grade at both the front and back of a one-family dwelling, not more than 6.5 ft above grade. A single front outlet, a garage-only outlet, and 'none' all fail to meet the front-and-back requirement.
