One of my guys got hit for putting a 12 and 14 under same screw, tried looking up a code article for it, but on road right now, is there a code article for this or is it just good workmanship.
CH instructions indicate all wires must be of same size. Inspector would have been nice to indicate the NEC article.One of my guys got hit for putting a 12 and 14 under same screw, tried looking up a code article for it, but on road right now, is there a code article for this or is it just good workmanship.
Terminals for more than one conductor and terminals used to connect aluminum shall be so identified.

These are both copper conductors, they are just worried that since they are torqued to 20 in lbs the 12 would be torqued better than the 14. It is a siemens panel, I will have to check the instructions when I get back
Most terminals rated for multiple conductors are able to accept any mix of sizes within range...
It doesn't say anything besides being for 14-4awg
That is exactly what I was thinking when I read that. If 2 conductors are allowed I am sure they would state they need to be the same sizeDoes it say two conductors are allowed?
Then only one is permitted per 110.14(A).Doesn't say how many conductors
110.14(A) ... Terminals for more than one conductor and terminals used to connect aluminum shall be so identified.
