Hmm...at Home Depot at least the decora receptacles appear to have
identical guts to the "regular" receptacles. They didn't even carry
spec grade decora receptacles.


I just went down to check the left overs I have. I found only
switches, but both cooper and leviton say they 'spec grade'. I didn't
see anything on the box, but the yokes had the imprint. Sorry these
were switches not receptacles.

I recently did something similar to "ChrisCoaster". Kitchen, bathrooms,
and garage/shop got spec grade receptacles. Rest of the house got the
cheapies.
