It would appear that you are not aware that how many wires I need in a box is based on what I'm trying to do inside that box, not the wire size. I use the box I need to fit the # conductors, devices, connectors, & fittings.iwire said:
Changing the wires size doesn't change how the circuit works. I'm suprised you don't know this.

I think that from an NEC perpective 12 AWG requires more space, and it is from a phyical perpective that 12 AWG takes up more space. But I get what you are trying to say.

I couldn't vote because I most jurisdiction I work in banned 14, and the ones that allow it are to far out from the metro for me to mess with.roger said:
Therefore, for the most part, the only time I handle 14 is industrial controls.
Didn't see that choice in the poll.

Apparently, as long as you don't try to run a poll, anything goes:grin:roger said:But does any of this have anything to do with the OP?

BTW I voted for "I use #14..." because I do sometimes. There was no option for having used both #12 and #14, depending on the situation.

No backpedalling here but occasionally I like to hear about it from an expert:grin: :grin:roger said:
I am a 12 wire lover 14 is ok tho it has its place and I never said anything bad about it other than it is a minimal code instalation and that is about the best you can hope to get in this world.

mivey, I'm asking you specifically:
If you have a standard 3 gang switch box that is 44 CI how many #12's will you install in it, how do you calculate your wire fill that determines your box size?
"Deco" means decora wall switches; look in your Leviton catalog, there the ones with tiny finish screws and low tolerances for box problems.

Why not start a new thread if you want to know how to do a box fill?tryinghard said:

Oh I know how to calculate wirefill for boxes, I don't think mivey relizes how easy it is to overfill one; do you?
