Oops, that should be 10 even, I needed to add a single volume for the
equipment grounds:

2 x 2 device + 1 clamp + 1 EGC + 4 conductors = 10

Great idea about the second non-receptacle like device. I'll consider
that an option.

Could I gang two of those boxes together and make a quad receptacle

2 x 2 devices + 1 clamp + 4 conductors = 9

I am concerned having single duplex receptacles with two-gang sized
faceplates would look sloppy. Then again, I can't say I have seen a
bedroom with all quad outlets before.

After deducting two conductors for the device he would not be able to

outside connector instead of a box with internal clamps as a one
conductor
deduction is required for that as well.

Nothing stopping him from ganging two such boxes together...


That will work. Good point.
