Is a wall with an iron steam radiator within 4 inches of the wall considered wall space when determining receptacle distance with the 6 foot rule? I have looked in article 210 of the NEC 2005 and have not been able to determine a definitive answer. Thank you.

Consider the radiator as unusable space, same as a door way. Install an outlet no more than six foot away from each side of the radiator and continue on from there with the next outlets in either diirection.
