2 wires in one cable clamp. OK for Code?
 

Hi,

I have limited holes in the top of a panel and was wondering if it's
OK to put 2 lighting circuits thru a single cable clamp.
I can't see any reason that it would not be perfectly fine physically
but code may well be a different matter.

Thanks

Nick..

I'm pretty sure it's ok.... I've donw it and passed many an inspection,
but it's possible your locality is different.

Also, when you say lighting, I'm assuming 14/2 WG.

Nick, It's perfectly OK if the cable connector is rated for two cables. A
standard romex cable is not

Make that a standard romex connector. There is a thing called a "button" its
just a plastic disk that pops into the knockout and you can put one or two
romex cables through it. Its made by Arlington Industries
