Excellent, thank you for the info. I was unaware of those requirements. I'll have to modify my shop outlets I wired. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Is the nuetral the primary concern then? Could you pigtail just the nuetral? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Can you tell me where specifically in the NEC it says that? Also what's the point if you are using say 20 amp receptacles on a 20 amp breaker? Shouldn't they all be rated at least to 20 amp pass through? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

220v for Water heater, clothes dryer, kitchen stove I'd guess. Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk

Yeah that makes sense especially considering there's not going to be multiple things running. I actually didn't realize there were different plugs for 20 amp devices. Wondered about the funny looking horizontal part on one side of the 20 amp 120v receptacle. I've never used anything that had...

Thank you guys for your responses. The shop is 24x48, standard tools, drill press, table saw, chop saw, router table, jointer, etc. The gfci I forgot about until after I put the first outlets in but I was going to put one the start of each circuit. Unless I have that wrong. I'm curious why a...

I'm wiring my shop with 3/4 emt and #10 wire. So my plan was to run a multi wire branched circuit from a double pole breaker. 2 hots and a nuetral. I have half the shop done and have wired several junction boxes with 2ea 110v outlets. The left outlets off one leg and right outlets off the...
