Subject - new 120 plug-in
creed can a new 120 plug-in be jump wired off of an exsisting plug-in on the other side of the wall?
JimmyDee Yes, for someone that knows what they are doing. It is usually a simple job to cut an opening in the opposite wall and run a piece of romex to the existing receptical box and splice it in.

bryan creed i dont see a problem with this as long as this is just a convience receptical you know like for t.v,lamps that kind of stuff.You will not want to try to put any thing on this plug-in that should have a dedicated line such as a/c window unit,ceramic heaters still all 120volt,but pulling a high amp load.GOOD LUCK.
JimmyDee Yes, what Bryan said. Also do not cut the new box in directly behind the other one. Won't be enough room.

Scott Vickrey You'll be doing yourself a favor if you can get the same space between the studs. Just not directly back to back like Jim said.
