If anyone has a citation from the 2011 code that disallows it - please post. I want to see it. It makes no sense to me, who knows? I'll believe it when I see it. I have the full 2011 code here but don't see it - but . . . I have not read it all.
2003 and 2008 both DO allow it. New York just changed from 2003 to 2008 which is now our current code.
I fully understand the reasoning why some consider not daisy chaining to be better - but I don't see where it's any safer. Also, how does it differ from any other junction box? A outlet in a daisy chain is simply a type of junction with an "approved connection" device according to code as long as it has the proper amp rating.
Yes, someone can pull an outlet and kill the circuit. Someone can also pull a wire-nut off a splice in a junction box. So what? That's why code says they can not be hidden behind walls.
2008 codes states - for such circuits - the junction cover or outlet box just be accessible from the interior of the building.
Also the junction-device must have an amp rating that meets or exceeds the circuit rating.
When's the last time anyone saw an duplex receptacle that was NOT rated with 20 amps pass-through?
I'm also wondering - if some code has actually disallowed it - how the heck do you control a bunch of outlets with one GFCI? That is what the "load" terminal of for. If it's no longer allowed, that would mean you'd have to buy a $50-$60 GFCI panel-breaker instead of an $10 duplex GFCI. That sounds counter-productive to me.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
