I was in my dentist's waiting room this morning and I noticed something that I'm wondering about.
The exterior wall has ceiling to *almost* floor windows. There is a wooden ledge at the bottom, about 4" high and 8" wide.
Installed in this ledge is a duplex outlet, lying flat on the top surface, facing up towards the ceiling. In other words, in such a position that items could be dropped/poured into the receptacle.
Is that allowed by code?
