A friend of mine say's that you can put a sub-panel in a commercial bathroom (retail store) as long as the main disconnect is somewhere else.

Is this true? is there a NEC code that supports this?

Thanks! :blink:

It doesn't state commercial buildings:whistling2:


But I still wouldn't do it.

The section only applies to dwellings, hotels, etc. So I read this as a panel in a restaurant, factory, brothel, etc. is legal

Absolutely as long as you also maintain the clearances and workspace required by 110.26.

I will post in this thread what the outcome of this project is.

He is going to put the Sub-panel in the bathroom, oops, let's call it a lavatory since there is no tub or shower.

The job is in northern California. I will post if the inspector signs off on it.
