Do you need gfci on bathroom fan?
No. The only thing required to be gfci protected is a receptacle. I've never understood why light fixtures, fans, and other appliances do not required protection around so much water, but they do not. They should, however, be listed for damp locations.
Where are gfci outlets required?
GFCI receptacle's must protect any outlet that is within 6 feet of a water source, outside the home, in a garage, on a deck, in a sunroom, in a bathroom, unfinished basements, kitchens, & crawl spaces.
Do you need to install a GFCI if the distance between the SPA and the outlet is 8 feet?
The Spa should be powered by a GFCI no matter how far away outlet is located.Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Every receptacle in a bathroom is required to be GFCI protected. Outside of a bathroom, anything within 6 feet of the outside edge of a sink is required to be GFCI protected. The code does not define "sink" but any reasonable person would consider a spa as qualifying under this requirement. -- SparkfighterAs always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Do you need a gfci outlet if you have a gfci breaker?
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.
Is an GFCI protected outlet required for an outdoor sewage pump?
1. Check with local regulation , authorities. Go by the local law or regulation. 2. If the application is in wet area, risk of ground fault is more, hence go for GFCI.
