I have a collegue who is doing a rewire on an old house (1928) The receptacles are all having new runs made to replace the old K&T with 12/2 romex. He wants to run a circuit from the new panel (a beautifully done 200amp center) into a juntion box in the ceiling above the den and then run individual runs out of the box to each outlet (4 total) in a radial fashion. I personally have never seen this, as I am used to the daisy chain method. I was wondering how you all felt about this? While I can't see anything inherently wrong with this, I wonder,is it allowable by the code. I have not seen it directly prohibited, but I may have just missed it. Opinions?
