Electrical wiring is designed to operate safely even if one thing goes wrong. If this is the only out-of-code thing then yeah, it'll be fine.
"One mistake away from serious issues" is a policy with a body count, though.
- nucleardog 6y agoIf power bars and all other manner of plug splitters didn’t exist If we didn’t already put up to 12 (!!) outlets on a 15A breaker (where I live, anyway — trying to find some US numbers online it sounds like there is no limit there?!) If you couldn’t trivially create a 24A load on a kitchen plug by plugging two small appliances in on your counter Then I would agree. As it stands, this is no more dangerous than the things that literally hundreds of millions of monkeys in as many homes and offices are doing every day by accident.
