This is not really a welding question but you guys are electrical geniuses so i'm sure you can field this one. Hey everybody, here's my question: I needed to tap in to an outlet temporarily. The outlet is in a series, so I bypassed the outlet and wire nutted three 12g wires together (3power, 3neutral, 3ground) and "hid" them in the box. I screwed the outlet back in the box disconnected. The reason I did this is because I'm having my service changed and my kitchen was remodeled with a new dishwasher and I don't have a dedicated breaker for this appliance. Once it's installed and inspected, I am going to run it to it's dedicated breaker. So in short, will joining three 12 g wires with wire nuts in an outlet box cause a potential fire?
