Is this acceptable, or is it one wire per space (which seems really loose!)?

What does the bag state?

Unknown. I was given these by a friend, to make my renovation wiring go easier. I have never used them before. Wanted to double check before my first inspection next week. The wires are far more secure with 2 in each space. If there is no easy answer, I will look for the manufacturer online, I guess.

What are you powering with the mix of #12 & #14 in there? Looks like you might also be maxing out the box fill from just the little bit you posted.

This type of stacker allows two wires in each slot, but they have to be side by side, not on top of each other.

I have one 14/2 homerun coming from the sub panel into the box. It powers 1 switch which controls 2 recessed downlights and powers another switch which controls two runs of undercabinet task lighting (2 switch legs out to each side of the room, since the lights are not continuous), and a third wire goes across the room to provide power to a switch there which controls 3 accent pendants lights. Additionally, the 12/2 wire comes in from an adjacent outlet (not the code required dedicated counter outlets), to a switch which will control an outlet that a toekick heater fan will plug into. So basically, 3 switches with an extra feed out to another switch. It's a triple switch box. Do I need to go bigger for more capacity?

NJ Marine - Thanks very much!

Here is the website link. Couldn't find anything specific but you can request info.

Is that a 42 cu in box? Should be stamped inside the back. You're going to have 3 switches? 2 hooked up to 14ga and 1 hooked to 12ga?

SD515.... 52 cu in box. Also said 26-14, 23-12, 20-10. And yes, two 14 ga switches and one 12 ga switch

I am also still in the dark as to this situation. I didn't understand if this would work somehow or not, so I posted a photo of the box. More comments on this would also be most appreciated.

You're good on capacity then.

SD515 and I agree that the circuit should not be extended due to being 8ngrounded.
