Answers: How do I replace an electrical outlet that won't hold plugs?
- Electrical outlet replacement
- Tamper-resistant electrical outlets
- Commercial vs residential electrical outlets
- Using back wire on electrical outlets
- Non-contact voltage testing
What it concludes
- Commercial-grade outlets feature tighter internal contacts and hold plugs much better than residential-grade outlets over time.
- Commercial-grade outlets support back-wire installation, eliminating the need to form shepherd hooks on wire ends.
- Using a 14-gauge wire stripper hole on a 12-gauge wire can damage and weaken the copper.
- A 1-inch mounting screw is required when replacing an outlet in a wall with wood paneling where a standard 3/4-inch screw does not work.
