Hey guys, just have a noob question.

I know 15a outlets are common on 20 amp breakers as long as theres more than one outlet and its perfectly legal according to NEC 210.21(b)(3), but as far as I can tell thats from 2011, has the rule been changed since? Is it still legal to use 15a outlets on a 20a breaker?

Tried looking for the 2014 version but no luck :slaphead:
