Adding receptacle to GFCI - In Parallel

[rharman]

I have an existing GFCI in our master bath - on a side wall. From the load side, it has a downstream feed to a standard receptacle and a lighting circuit (light over a tub).

I want to add another receptacle lower down on the wall the GFCI is located on. Is there any issue in pig-tailing the connection and just running a feed to the new receptacle? Think of it as teeing off the load side. Assuming the fill limit is adhered to.

Thanks!

I don't see any issue except box fill and getting it all crammed in the box.

Many models have a 2nd set of slide terminals. I see them on the line and load side. I haven't seen the pic, but one is described as having back terminals. They wouldn't be stabs today. So you don't have to pig tail even though IIRC PT's aren't counted in the box fill. Physically there are less wires if all terminate at the device.
