I am planning to have an isolated ceiling fan switch as an end run of a 20 amp
circuit.

I ran 14-2 wire from the fan...to the new switch...to the receptacle that was
15 amp. As I was preparing to tie this all together I noticed that the
receptacle was fed by 12-2 wire and...sure enough there is a 20 amp breaker.


Since the fan (no lights) hardly pulls any amperage it seems like I should be
able to run the 14-2 anyway.

Thoughts?


This is Turtle

Two things here. Up your insurance on the house or redo it with # 12 wire.
