Is it permissable to use the side screw pressure connectors on a typical 5-20 duplex receptacle as a splice point, using stranded copper #12 wire.
 
Can't you make up your mind?
:D
LOL

I was putting in some devices at a job today....commercial...MWBC....lets just say I remembered 300.13(B) just before they were installed:)

I am not sure what you are calling a spice If you are feeding 2cond.cable with a gec. into a listed receptacle,then out again I think you are ok.

Why do you automatically assume this is a mwbc???


The answer would have to be yes based on the question that was asked. But of course it could also be no. I 've been practicing my Rogerisms. :grin:

You may have inferred this...or is it implied? :D

Jim, by using the term "pressure connectors" it is probable that we are talking about commercial grade or spec grade receptacles.

Not stabbed (#12's don't fit ;) w/o modification to something)


Like on a GFCI....a pressure plate.
