You don't agree with me too?
Sure, we do - you could do it, but should not do it. Red tag.

Sorry. agreed.You don't agree with me too?
I am leaning toward the opinions of the other guys here, but I have a question for the op and the others. What does the pigtail feed?
Wouldn't 210.19(4)(exceptions) come into play? Not for a receptacle I know...

there are few exceptions, but i doubt they apply to your situation, but we really dont know what it is. 240.4 D3 spells it out very plainly that 14 awg mustn't exceed 15 amp overcurrent protection.

I think 210.24 allows for #14 taps up to 40 amps.:happyyes:

Not according to 210.19(4). I believe that is the code section he meant. Of course, I could be wrong...

Very Safe Answer ! :happyyes:
for receptacles :happysad:, #14 AWG for receptacles has to be protected by 15 amp ocpd maximum, whether tapped or connected directly to the receptacle
