Question: Does anyone have a code book prior to 1990. I want to know if it was required to have receptacles at peninsulas and Islands prior to the 1990 code cycle. I looked at my 1990 and it is require, however there is the infamous line down the side letting you know it was re-written.Thanks

1987 National Electrical Code (NEC)Article 210.52(C)

In kitchens, peninsulas with a total area of more than 15 square feet and islands shall have at least one receptacle outlet installed on each wall or partition that has a finished surface.This requirement was not present in the 1984 NEC. Flag for review
