The National Electrical Code (NEC) generally requires that electrical receptacles be located at least 6 feet away from a kitchen sink. This distance helps prevent the risk of electric shock due to water exposure. Additionally, any circuits that supply power to outlets near sinks should be GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected for added safety. Always check local codes and regulations, as they may have specific requirements.
