I'm just finishing up adding outlets to the front and back of my house. I have it arranged such that a new line runs from the panel to a junction box, where it T's off to feed the new outlets. I understand that I need GFCI protection on this circuit, but I'm not really familiar with the ground fault application. If I were to add a GFCI outlet at some point between the panel and the junction box, would the two branches coming out of the junction box both be GFCI protected?

Best Answer
Yes, you can. Electrically that's no different than having a series of outlets on a single run after a GFCI. Everything is wired in parallel regardless.
