Marc 83 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 I don't see how it could be a problem, assuming all connectors and devices are listed for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Kogel 35 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Right, just never under the same screw, in a case where 2 conductors are allowed.

It's not a requirement of the NEC unless the wire manufacturer or the panel manufacturer require it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
