Thank you for your commitment Mr. Paul. I am scheduled to take my test January 22 and I want to express a debt of gratitude for your teaching skills. They have been my own personal tutor. I am 3rd generation and have been in the field all my life but there’s still the nervous jitters of “A TEST” anyway I can’t thank you enough!!!

Are you allowed to have 12 and 14 gauge wires in the same box? Does that change the volume? Thanks

[@MasterTheNEC]

Of course you can. Yes, the 14 AWG is 2.00 cu. in. and 12 AWG is 2.25 cu. in.
