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


I ask the contractor about using 3/4" conduit and he stated that the radius was too big to hide in the wall. He said he may use 3/4" but use a 1/2" piece to get around the corner.

I'd find another contractor.


That works if you can get to the hole (outside corner) but it isn't
legal to bury it in the wall. If you never thought you would want to
pull the wire out, it isn't necessarily unsafe but just not legal.
