Requirements for Kitchen Island Electrical Outlets
[ad#block] Electrical Question: How do we wire an 8 foot kitchen island with a bar sink installed?
What are the electrical requirements for kitchen outlets?
This electrical question came from: George, a Building Contractor.
Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question George.
- George, the kitchen island must have an outlet that is placed on a GFI protected circuit.
- This circuit can be extended off of the existing kitchen counter top outlets or be placed on a dedicated circuit depending on the loads of the anticipated connected devices.
