Asked by Geo July 30, 2019Yes, this can be done when properly identifying the 2nd neutral. If these circuits are in conduit, you will need to make sure they don't exceed the maximum conduit fill.

What is the break strength on this wire?
Asked by Antennaman June 15, 2019The max tension on a 12 AWG Cu conductor is 52 lbs
Most of my outlets do not have a ground, I am wanting to properly upgrade my home wiring will this wire allow that?
Asked by Okami March 11, 2019No, this is a single conductor wire used in conduit with other conductors. You need to install a ground wire (green) or replace the branch wiring in your home with proper Romax grounded cable and make sure your service (meter) is properly grounded with a driven ground rod and a cold water pipe connection too. I advise you use a licensed electrician to do the work. Also if your home insurance company finds out you don't have adequate electrical wiring, they could cancel your insurance or deny a claim should one arise.

Asked by sparky January 14, 2019I made up a mock order and selected 3 different colors and the bill showed no discount. I then deleted 2 of the colors and changed the order to show 3 of the same color and the bill then showed a discount. So if this little test is correct, it looks like you need to buy a multiple of three of the same color.
