A required receptacle outlet is omitted because the owner plans to use an extension cord. Is that an acceptable design basis?
- AYes, if the owner signs a waiver
- BYes, if the cord is orange
- No; an extension cord does not replace a required permanent outlet
- DNo, because extension cords are never permitted for any use
Why C is correct
Required outlets reduce reliance on flexible cords as permanent wiring and must be installed where the applicable branch-circuit rule calls for them. A private preference does not remove that construction requirement.
