    Code varies from state to state and not all towns adopt the latest code. Where are you? My code says 39" and it must be GFCI protected

    I have to say, I haven't heard of any local amendments on this, but I wouldn't doubt some exist.

    The NEC says not within the tub or shower area. That's it.

    Roswell, NM It seemed that I could remember reading 39" as well but now that I go back through the 2008 NEC I can only find, not within shower or tub. Lol Thank you both for your help.
