I have a standard light switch in my bathroon I'd like to replace.
The new swich I bought is a switch and an outlet all in one, switch on
top half outlet on bottom half..

Can someone please explain how to hook this up.

Current I have black/black in and out of the old switch and the
green/ bare wire. The white wire it capped off in the back not
connected to anything.

Thanks for your assitance,

Step # 1 Make sure that that circuit is on a GFI. If not likely
adding an outlet like that (which I believe are not available in GFI)
would
be a code violation .

why would that be a code violation?- Hide quoted text -

Wow, I did not expect so many different posts, but thank you.

After looking at the situation I have a GFI outlet right next to this
new switch/outlet, so after failing to think about it at 1st, I just
supplied to new outlet with a black & white wire from the exsisting
GFI, this making the new outlet a GFI.

Thanks again to all, it was from reading all the post I thought this
would be the easiest way.
