What rule could in inspector site that would prohibit running #14 for convenience receptacle branch circuits protected by 15 amp breakers (I know. I should ask him, and I will later)? I would not do this myself (run #14), but some folks I know did this in their tanning salon and the inspector has them replacing it all with #12 (about 1000 feet of it). The 180 VA rule was not exceeded. If this is his (local rule)call, that is OK and they should comply, but is it prohibited by the NEC?
