ever since i was a young padawan apprentice, we were taught to pig tail 15 amp recs on kitchen circuits.Originally posted by kbsparky:
I have no problem with installing a 15 Amp outlet on a 20 Amp circuit here....for what it is worth, if a 15 amp rec was not safe to install on a 20 amp circuit then their would be some mention of this practice being not allowed in the code...
This discussion was not about installing a 15 Amp receptacle on a 20 Amp circuit, but rather in that circuit as part of its current-carrying conductors.
Sorry if that was not clear in the thread title, I have modified it by changing the word "on" to "in" for clarification.
