But the point remains that you can still use 15A devices on a 20A circuit, required in a kitchen

So jstoker might have the requisite 20A circuit, but not 20A outlets. I didn't put 20A outlets into my kitchen. In fact the only ones I used anywhere in my house were the spec-grade outlets for my home theatre.

BTW, the one device I saw that used a 20A plug was a large window air conditioner. And you wouldn't use that in a kitchen anyway. :-)

I have also seen commercial amplifiers, such as a Crown MacroTech 2400, which uses a 20A plug. But those are seldom used in houses.

- Looks good, but curious as to why locate the sink to the left, vs under the window? - Grapeking 2016-01-21 21:11:14 (235 views)
  - wasn't my first choice. Plumbing was already there in the wall on the left side. - jstoker 2016-01-25 12:01:51 (204 views)
  - people don't spend as much time at the sink, wash dishes and such, - doug 2016-01-23 19:00:05 (210 views)
  - Agreed. I like having work space on either side of the sink. - Pelican Pete 2016-01-21 21:15:57 (253 views)
    - As do I; however, maybe the sink is where it is because that's where the plumbing is? - gription 2016-01-22 12:33:00 (262 views)

        Good point on plumbing location, especially that it's an exterior wall.  -  Pelican Pete  2016-01-22 14:57:40 (239 views)
