Home Improvement Asked by PeteCon on March 14, 2021
I’m working on a rebuild of my office. I have a number of low-power devices (e.g laptop, musical keyboard, monitor, internet router, etc) which are plugged into extension cords and then fixed to the wall; there are three of these, taking my six outlets (three locations, one double outlet in each) up to 12 outlets.
As part of the rebuild, I would like to get rid of the extension cords, and just have 12 wall outlets.
Is this possible/legal to have this many on a 15amp circuit? Anything I should be aware of?
Located in Utah, USA, if that becomes relevant.
Yes, generally speaking you can have as many receptacles as you want on a circuit. There are limitations in some jurisdictions, but 12 - which is really 6 x duplex - is not very many and is unlikely to be a problem.
There are limitations on splitting circuits across multiple rooms, generally when kitchens or bathrooms are involved. But most other rooms have no restrictions.
A few things to keep in mind:
