[QUOTE="erle, post: 1798440, member: 92976"] As a licensed electrician, I never run anything but size 12 wire for recipticals. As has been said, size 14 is only to be used for lighting. Be sure to wrap wire around receptical scews & never just push bare end of wire into holes! Plugging and unplugging will soon wear out those cheaper recepticals and cause burning from loose connections. 20 amp is the only way to go for any wall outlet. It will be done right then, will meet inspection, and you never know when later on someone might plug an electrical heater, iron, or something else that draws a lot of current. I've seen fires started that way! [/QUOTE]
