When pigtails are needed.
It may be a specification from the customer that you must use pigtails. There is a code rule for shared neutral circuits that you have to wire it in such a manner that if a device (such as a

Whats the difference : r/electrical
A pigtail connects a device to a wire/terminal without changing the circuit. A jumper connects two points in order to change the function of the circuit.
