The National Electrical Code (NEC) does not specify a strict limit on the number of duplex outlets allowed per 20-amp circuit, but it does recommend that you consider the load. Generally, it's common practice to allow up to 10 outlets per 20-amp circuit if standard usage is expected. However, if high-wattage devices will be used, it may be prudent to limit the number of outlets to avoid overloading the circuit. Always consult local codes and regulations for specific requirements.
