What is the minimum length of a residential hallway required to have a receptacle?

6 feet
8 feet
10 feet
12 feet

The correct answer is: 10 feet

In residential settings, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC), a hallway that is 10 feet or more in length must be equipped with at least one receptacle outlet. This requirement is in place to ensure that access to electrical power is available in areas of the home where it might be needed, as hallways can sometimes serve as transitional spaces. The NEC emphasizes safety and practicality by mandating that longer hallways be supplied with receptacles, allowing for the convenience of appliances, charging devices, or other electrical needs. Requiring a receptacle in hallways longer than 10 feet helps promote accessibility to electrical power throughout the home.
