What if you choose not to pigtail electrical outlets?
I know amongst the electrician community it is a debate. In my house a lot of outlets are wired with two sets of wires coming in vs out. Sometimes when I pigtail it makes it more difficult to fit the outlets in the box and this house is pretty old (1976), so I'm constantly running into difficult situations when trying to fix stuff. Is it just a preference or is the real answer that you should always do it even if it's not what code requires? submitted by /u/orbit0317 [link] [comments]
