On that, we can agree. The NEC allows the use of 14.electricmanscott said:However....NOT ONE PERSON has made a realistic argument as to why I should NOT use #14 and 15 amp circuits and whay this is so bad. So bad in fact that the NEC does not allow this method of installation. Of wait, of course it does.![]()

The NEC also allows the use of 18!
Hmmmmm? Wonder what surprises awaits in 2011?
electricmanscott said:I think the point that is being missed here, at least from my perspective, is this...I don't care that you use use all #12 and 20 amp circuits. I do think, no wait, I do know for a fact that it is not neccesary nor does it make a wiring job better or safer. History has proven that fact.

From a purely technical standpoint you have to admit that #12 is better.
From a business standpoint maybe not. If milk was cheap then McDonalds would probably put some in their Milk Shakes.
Disclaimer: I actually have no idea what's in a McDonalds Milk Shake. :grin:

I don't care what is in those milkshakes, that is some good stuff.

iwire said:Growler, I don't think anyone is saying you should not use 12 AWG if you want to. I think the problem is many people seem to feel that using 14 is wrong, bad, should be a code violation, is immoral, etc.![]()
