I've got a 20A circuit, #12 wire for the feed the outlets (4 of them). I would like to add a switch and tap the outlet to feed the light switch (in a closet).
Is it up to code to use a #14 (either back-stabbed or screwed-on) to feed the switch? I realized that mixing wire gauges is not always good practice. However, I've got a lot of left-over #14 that can be used for the short run.
thanks rich
