With GFCI protection OK! No Pro, no go!

Re: Acceptable under kitchen sink???
That surface wire is not good.
Otherwise, being under the sink is not prohibited, nor does it require GFCI protection.
Now, under my kitchen sink, I have a two gang box with two duplex receptacle outlets in it, facing up - BUT - I have a two gang bubble type weather proof cover over it.

Re: Acceptable under kitchen sink???
I'd at least note that most things likely plugged in there (dishwasher, disposal) would require a grounded receptacle to accept the required grounded plug.

Re: Acceptable under kitchen sink???
Yup.. I had to go back and re-look and say, whaaat?
No need of gfci protection. As previously stated, that exposed surface wire should be protected.

Re: Acceptable under kitchen sink???
By the way, is that blue thingy (technical term) a water filter with the filter removed?  |

Re: Acceptable under kitchen sink???
Sorry. Looked at that, got distracted, can back to post, *thought* I has seen an ungrounded outlet, and didn't look back to check...
