⚡️ Is This GFCI “Readily Accessible”? – Electrical Code Repair Discussion ⚡️
We’re on-site at a recent attic repair, and here’s the situation:

🧰 A GFCI outlet was installed on the ceiling, replacing an unsafe extension cord (SO cord) setup that ran to a junction box. But it raises an important question:

👉 Is this GFCI considered readily accessible by code?

We dive into Article 100 of the NEC for the definition of readily accessible and discuss why it matters, especially when GFCI protection is required in potentially hazardous areas like attics.

🟢 The GFCI outlet is weather-resistant (WR)
🟨 It’s labeled GFCI protected
❓ But is it compliant if it’s on the ceiling?
