Can a NIMA 14-50 receptacle be wired up with #10 wire ?
What if you doubled up each wire ?

Would that meet code ?
what if you found one wired up that way ?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
#10 is good for 30A and should be fused as such. Doubling up for more

is a hack job. Never put more than one wire under a screw.. Do it
right. Houses burn down from hack jobs.

If I found one wired like that in my house I would disconnect it.
