I am getting conflicting answers regarding the maximum height that requires outdoor GFCI protection.


I say it is all outdoor recepticles require GFCI, but others say the maximum height that requires GFCI protection in 6’6".


Sooooo, what is it ?

Changed in 1996 to all exterior outlets except a “not readily accessible,” dedicated circuit for snow melting equip.


Prior to1996 it was required on all exterior circuits within 6'-6" of grade.
