Now that I'm thoroughly confused...

Where does it say I can't run two ciruits?
Is it because there's only one "nameplate"?
Clue me in here...

I *never* intend to bust code... When I do, it is simply out of sheer ignorance... My 99 NEC is very dogeared, so it isn't from a lack of trying...

OK, I have to admit I haven't read the instructions for those in years... Have they really changed that much? If memory serves me correctly, I recall that the instructions for the units I install reccomend the very procedure I use... Hixson was adamant about reading instructions, so I have read them at one time! Just not recently...

Bill,
As far as wire space, I haven't noticed the capacity labelled in these, stamped or otherwise... Does the UL sticker "exempt" them as per a motor "peckerhead"?

I've found there's ample room if you use the 3" outside the box, 6" minimum rule to the fullest...
