| Jul 16, 2022 at 3:55 | comment | added | Armand | You certainly can just install a GFCI receptacle. However, you will need to mount the new box securely to something (perhaps added 2x4 blocking?). You will also need to identify all the outlets on the circuit you want to use, what gauge wiring is in place and what size circuit breaker controls it, so you can determine if the wiring can support your new receptacle. It could very well draw a lot of current if you've got something like a blow dryer plugged in, and it looks like there is something else downstream of the other-room-outlet you want to tap into. | |
