And PS the lower right neutral conductor is in the wrong spot. It should be in the round hole not the rectangular slot. | |

There is no stud in your photo. if you can not run new wires to the new box/outlet how are you going to accomplish putting it "a couple of studs" over. You need to edit you question to include all the pertinent info (very detailed explanation) and describe exactly what you are trying to accomplish | |

| Mar 13, 2017 at 1:34 | comment | added | ThreePhaseEel | @NikitaG. -- where do you plan to put this new socket? | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 0:49 | comment | added | Nikita R. | It's an existing wiring in a remodeled house. I can't run anything additional. I wanted to ask whether it's possible to use one of the existing pairs to power one socket and the other to power another, new one. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 0:45 | comment | added | ThreePhaseEel | Is there another gang in the junction box, or are you running wires from this box to another box? | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 0:44 | comment | added | Nikita R. | I want to add another one using the same wires. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 0:39 | comment | added | Kevin McKenzie | Are you asking if it's possible to split the sockets, i.e., make one of them switched somehow? Or add another socket? | |
