Hello
I'm a retiree with background in industrial construction codes, safety inspection, OSHA, TASCA, etc. I am starting my home inspection business and I am new to residential codes. I am inspecting an addition of a bathroom that will be sharing water, drain with an existing bathroom. The electrical for the new sink will have to be installed on the shared wall of the existing shower. The new circuit is GFCI, but placing electrical in a "wet wall" (a wall where water could possibly leak) was not allowed in industrial applications. Is it allowed in residential? Shouldn't the electrical be run in water tight fittings?
Thanks
