There is an exception that if only one bathroom is served by a single 20A circuit, then other equipment in that same bathroom can be supplied by that circuit (e.g. lighting). Of course if you have several teenage girls and several bathrooms, it may be prudent to give each bathroom its own 20A circuit. :) | |

You cannot tap off of the existing circuit, unless it is a 20A circuit that supplies only that bathroom. | |
