using scrap of romex sheath as a spacer
Good point. The situation I was referring to was where the box was
less than 1/2 inch behind the face of the wall so there really wasn't a
gap with an opening into the wall cavity, but the face of the sheetrock
was not square enough against the edge of the box to cleanly hold the
metal ears on the outlet.
Thanks for all the great input on this topic!
