Dual function circuit breaker for bathroom applications.

martyrg | Posted in General Discussion on

I’m remodeling my bathroom, and circumstances make it easier to use a circuit breaker rather than a GFCI outlet.
Is it OK to use a dual function (GFCI / AFCI) circuit breaker for bathroom circuits?

    It is ok with me.

    The real question is if it is ok with your local zoning and building inspection official.

    I want to say they will be fine with it.
