[QUOTE="1st Vette, post: 331348, member: 8909"] Actually the number of receptacles required in a kitchen is determined by the amount of counter space that is there. You can easily have the requirement for 15 receptacles in some of today’s large houses . Also don’t forget that code, all codes, are minimum requirements .And you are only permitted two three wire split receptacles on a 15 amp two pole breaker and no two can be adjacent. So if you had a very small kitchen with let’s say four feet of counter that would require only two outlets you would have to run two three wire circuits as the receptacles would be adjacent. The best and most usual method now is to install 20 amp dedicated circuits for each receptacle, one breaker, one receptacle. Of course utilizing 20 amp rated receptacles. [/QUOTE]
