Question: Can anyone tell me if there is a mounting height requirement for the GFI receptacle in the elevator pit?Thanks

Yes, there is a mounting height requirement for the GFI receptacle in the elevator pit. According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), the GFI receptacle in the elevator pit must be mounted at least 6 inches (152 mm) above the finished floor. This is to prevent water from entering the receptacle during flooding or other water-related emergencies. Flag for review
