Outdoor Power - Code Minimum

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money.
Synopsis:
Joel gives a look inside a project assignment at Jefferson Electric before breaking down outdoor electrical code.
JE recommends thorough front-end communication and access to a communication software that allows for on-site feedback and leadership trust & mobility amongst multiple job sites. A team should be a body of different parts that value and honor one another equally.
The codes for outdoor spaces are often dependent on landmarks, like the front door and the AC unit; however, it is always important to remember that the code represents a minimum requirement, not necessarily optimal accessibility. If considering extensive yard lighting, pool equipment, a patio with electric cooking appliances, or other outdoor scenes, make sure to reach out to a local professional for power recommendations.

Outdoor gfci receptacles 15 or 20 amp?

[@arfift33n]

If I added more receptacles for the rear of my house, can I just daisy chain regular wr outlets to the gfci? Or does every receptacle have to be gfci no matter what?

@@ElectricProAcademy awesome thanks

[@DaBlackTradesMan]

I just had an inspector tell me that all exterior gfci outlets must be ran on a 20amp circuit. I've researched and have yet to find that in the 2017 NEC code book. What state are you from and which code are you following?

[@charleshill7184]

NEC 2023 (not sure 2020, though 2023 doesn't mark this section as a revision or new) on 210.63 Equipment Requiring Service reads "A 125-volt, single-phase, 15- or 20-ampere-rated receptacle outlet shall be installed at an accessible location..." A further infomration note points to 210.8(E) which says "GFCI protection shall be provided for the receptacles required by 210.63." So that code specifically allows 15-amp receptacle outlet outside for supporting equipment service.
