Has anyone ever used a scrap piece of 14-3 or 12-3 to loop between receptacles? It's better than just scrapping a piece of cable for less than what we paid for it. My question is, if I cap off the red wire instead of cutting it off, does that conductor count as an allowance for box fill? The obvious answer is yes, but if you look at the way it is written in 314.16 (B)(1), I'm not convinced that you would have to count it. Any thoughts on this?
