Outdoor receptacles shall be installed outdoors so as to be readily accessible from ground or grade level. All outdoor receptacles located within 6 feet of ground or grade level shall be protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter of the class A type.
It may be next to it but never above it.
For a light switch in the home four foot to centre is a reasonable height. Some contractors set the outlet box at four foot to the bottom of the outlet box and other contractors set the box to four foot to the top of the outlet box. There is no code rule that stipulates the exact height that the outlet box must be set to.
22 ft
Top of the outlet should be 3 to 4 feet above the floor. I recommend 3' as it will be hidden and out of sight and still easy to plug in.
The definition of an outlet in Article 100 of the National Electrical Code book (US) is: "Outlet. A point on the wiring system at which current is taken to supply utilization equipment." You can have a receptacle outlet, lighting outlet, or some other hardwired equipment outlet. <<>> The definition of an outlet in Section 0 (Object, Scope and Definitions) of the Canadian Electrical Code book is: "Outlet. A point in the wiring installation at which current is taken to supply utilization equipment."

There is no code ruling on this. I set mine 12" to center. If you are putting in a new outlet in an existing home I would suggest you just match it to the height of the rest of the outlets.
The receptacle is usually 12" to center and a distance radius of six feet between outlets along the wall.
the height will depend on local building codes' requirements and also what time of outlet (ground, countertop for kitchen and bath, and ceiling such as in garage doors). Typically wall outlets are 16 inches on center from the finish floor.
Top of the outlet should be 3 to 4 feet above the floor. I recommend 3' as it will be hidden and out of sight and still easy to plug in.
I found the company code now, it is 13363!

There is no height requirement in the NEC code book. You can pretty much put them where you want. I usually install them at 44" to the top of the box except where there is a work bench and then I install them 48" to the top of the box. That is just what I have found to be a good height. The choice is yours. Remember that all garage outlets must be GFCI protected.
I think it is Morse Code.
