RE: 20 amp receptacles on 15 amp line?
Posted by Crazy Dave on November 28, 2016 at 09:57:36:
if you have a house fire, do you really want the insurance inspectors to see anything that is not code. After research, I decided the only way to go on a dedicated line was 20 amp, from the breaker to the outlet. I had it done by an electrician (two lines). I am sure it will never see anything near 20 amps, but why not. I was putting in the lines regardless. I am sure there are good 15 amp outlets. If you must have the best, then go all the way.
