Mixed Wiring 14 &12


Posted by qwertytinytim on March 23rd, 2007 08:43 PM

I take the blame on this one!

I fixed a damaged wire in my basement.
I cut out the bad section and added a new wire. I used a junction box.

My problem is that I think the old cloth type wire, which was not labeled may have been 14 guage. I added a 6 inch piece of 12 guage.

Is this dangerous? I know its not up to code. But should I worry about it?
