Splice Question

Is it ok to splice one wire into two with pigtails in a juntion box? I'd like to do this so that I can run one wire to a light and the other to an outlet so that I don't have to use a middle of the run outlet.

Re: Splice Question

I think he's trying to say with one line coming into a j-box with switch.. one line going to outlet from there.. and of course the line going to light. Switch only operates light.
