I’m working on wiring my shop and was wondering if it is acceptable to use standard 15 amp rated receptacles on a pig-tailed 12ga 20 amp run starting off with a GFCI. This run would not have any equipment that would need all of the 20 amps, I’ll have dedicated runs for them, just multiple smaller to medium equipment. Any help on this would be beneficial.
