Electrical question for the brain trust
Mrs WD wants black outlets and covers in the new kitchen. I HATE tamper resistant (IOW use resistant) outlets. The only round black outlets I can find without the tamper resistant defect are 20 amp. The circuit is wired with 12 ga wire and has a 15 amp breaker in the box. Will installing 20 amp outlets cause a problem down the road? Worst case as far as I can see is maybe someone will plug in something big and trip the breaker.
What say you?
