GFCI Requirements for Bathrooms
[ad#block]Electrical Question: I’m installing a GFCI in a new bathroom.
- I understand how to wire the second Non-GFCI outlet.
- I have two questions:
- Do I need to wire the light switch above the vanity into the GFCI circuit, if so, how?
- Second, I have a fan in the ceiling near the shower, should it be included in the GFCI circuit?
This electrical wiring question came from: Dan, a Homeowner from Cincinnati, Ohio.
