I had to redo some wiring because I found an open splice in the wall for one of my baseboard heaters. It looks like the "electrician" cut some nm cable 6 inches too short and just used an open splice to connect the extra to the baseboard.
I have abandoned that wire but I was unable to pull a new one along that wall so I instead wired it into one of the nearby baseboard heaters.
That baseboard heater now has 2 heaters connected in its junction box. Is this safe?
I have 8 conductors, and 1 ground (edit: 3 grounds but counting as 1 for space calculations) of 12/2 and the baseboard box measure 4x3x2 = 24cu.in. It would seem to be enough space but I'm not sure if this is normally done as you would normally daisy chain from the first one with only 2 wires in each.
The heater specifications don't say what is permitted.
