How close can an electrical outlet be to the sink?
I suppose it is possible. I'm not sure why you would want an electrical outlet under a bathroom sink, though. I don't know of any houses that are built with an electrical outlet under the sink.

Usually it's better to call an electrician for stuff like this. Hope that helps.

The insulation goes behind the outlet boot which allows the wall R value to remain the same as the rest of the wall.
