Tapping Into 120v Question
I should know this, but don't so here goes-- Can I cut the three 120v wires to a receptacle and insert a set of wires to another receptacle so that there are three wire nuts each with three wires? ...

It says in my handyman book that I finally dragged out after all this fuss, that what I want to do is called "middle of the run" as opposed to "end of the run". Shows the three wires in a wire nut. I see the better connecters posted above, will check that out. Thanks.
So the word I wanted was "run", not "string".
I am not convinced there is no series vs parallel with all this. ISTR something about that in another handyman book, but have to check up on that. EG, if at the end of run you ran two more, but both from the same previous receptacle's second set of connectors.
Whatever, I have enough info to proceed and not electrocute myself or anybody else. Thanks again.
