I am designing a system for 120VAC wiring of a truck sleeper cab and want to follow NEC as close as possible. In this design, a 20 amp circuit breaker has three receptacles coming off in parallel. The first is a 20 amp receptacle with 12/3 wire. The other two receptacles are 15 amp. Are these 15 amp receptacles considered taps and can I use 14/3 wire to connect them to my 20 amp breaker? Note the 15 amp receptacles cannot be changed to 15/20 receptacles and are only regulatory approved to 15 amps. Any help is appreciated.
