If a electrician used 14 wire on anything I built I would kill him and at least one of his kids

14 Ga. is already oversized for a 15 A circuit. It is not worth killing somebody for. I always use 12 Ga just because I want to. It is the same reason that I use Square D QO panels instead of something cheap.

Overbuilding at a reasonable price point is what separates the men from the boys.. I also would not put a 15 amp circuit in anyone's house.

Guess I'm feeling argumentative today. :devil2:

The only way that would be pushing the capacity of the wire is if it has an incorrectly sized breaker on it. If 14 ga wire wasn't comfortable with 15A, we'd have to use a smaller breaker with it.

If an electrician put a 15 amp circuit in my house I would whop his ass too for that

OK, just to satisfy my own morbid curiosity, can you give me ONE valid and logical reason why you do this?

Because i hate the way 15 amp receptacles look.

This is confusing two ways:

1) I was referring to smokes on #12 on a 15A breaker.
B) I asked Doubleoh7.

C. I did not realize that. carry on

15 amp receptacles are rated 20 a feed thru.

Yeah but they do not have the cool slash in them that look like a pirates eye

Then you need to wire your entire house with 240v 15a receps.

No I use the 20 amp t-style receptacle.
