I'm doing a house where the homeowner wants everything done in # 12 wire. In figuring the fill calculations, is the entire duplex recept. counted as one yoke, or is each plug in counted as a yoke?? The code says to allow double for each yoke In other words using # 12 wire one duplex outlet would be considered as the following??
2.25 per conductor X 2 ( double for 1 yoke if whole recpt. is considered 1 yoke) = 4.5 cubic inch? Been a while since I had to figure it, and I have a brain freeze [Linked Image]
Thanks, Steve

Also I forgot one other thing. On the outside lighting, can you still use a switch box for the outside lighting if it is laid in brick, or does it have to be a light box. Seems like I remember an exception for this rule, that says you can use a switch box, but I'm not sure.. Thanks again.. Steve
