    Golly , I had no clue this was a code ?
    Now I have to go remove all my philips screws from all my wall plates . Ah well , all the receptacles have to be replaced again anyways . I am on my third year with the current wall switches and plugs . Up here in Canada , they force you to replace them every 3 years in high demand areas .
    I was upset with the poll not having an undecided choice so I went with vertical.
    One of my wall plugs has 80 volts on the nuetral wire . I gotta figure this out



    Is this suppose to be a Friday thread cuz it is Not Friday ? :argue:

    You know there just might be a day when there are no light switches installed in new construction anymore. Then were will this thread be?

    They're pretty slick. Well made, inexpensive, and work on standard outlets. Doesn't have to be for fancy smart switches. They also make 2+ covers for multiple switches.
