Why no receptacles in the kitchen and bathrooms?
The image is for habitable space.
Kitchens are habitable spaces.
Depends who’s cookin
and I guess hallways aren’t, so I get the confusion with some areas having it and some not.
Regardless who’s cookin’, receptacles are still required at the countertop level for appliances.
This is one where I’d want a code reference, on the image, and date. IRC XXXX 20XX

Thanks fellas!
Still a receptacle missing in the bedroom on the upper left.
Bathroom too?
Yeah, that’s the one I noticed immediately.
NEC illustrated had a better illustration. Only copy I have is 2014 but it still gives a better understanding. There is very little point in having an illustration that is overshadowed by the strict definition of “habitable spaces.” Just confusing.
It would be more useful if it was titled “Dwelling Unit Receptacles” with a reference to the corresponding NEC article (210.52).
The required receptacles for kitchen counters and bathrooms fall under different spacing requirements than the commonly called 6/12 rules for habitable rooms.
No, thank you for providing the members with this great professional organization and any leeway to add required missing components to InterNACHI’s free Photo Gallery.

Thanks again fellas.
The bathroom receptacle needs to be within 3 foot of the bowl, not on the opposite wall as shown.
The kitchen is missing a receptacle to the left of the sink.
Thank you, Nick.
