I don't have a problem adding extra receptacles but it's not critical for me to have a receptacle in the northeast corner (upper-right), but I have 7 to 8 feet between doorway and next outlet (if I don't add the extra outlet).Ĥ) Are GFCI's required only on receptacles within a 6' arc of a sink, or do all receptacles need GFCI protection in a basement laundry? The dedicated circuits for the sump pump, freezer, washer, and dryer won't have GFCI protection. I'm having a pro change out my electrical panel with either a 100amp or 200amp service so I'll have more space for new circuits.ġ) I could put the washer on the shared 20 amp receptacle circuit that only services the laundry room, correct? However, it's only recommended to have a dedicated 20 amp circuit for the washer?Ģ) Is there a standard height for the washer and electric dryer receptacles? If I put the outlets about 30" off the floor, I could hide the plugs and basically shove the appliances tight to the wall.or is there some reason to put the outlets higher above the appliances?ģ) I'm a little confused if the 12'/6' rule applies to laundry rooms in basements. I've read some code and many posts online but I have a few questions regarding my planned wiring diagram below. I am in the process of finishing a laundry room in my basement.
