Default Q on Romex gauges and outlets

posted for all of us...




Jeff was on it. GFCIs use a hole in the back but you still have to
tighten the screw. It is a clamp plate. The good side is you can use
both holes so you can have 2 wires in each terminal.

Greg, what would be the proper nomenclature for the two types?
Back stab = push wire in and hope for best 14 gage only
Back wire = has internal clamp activated by screw - recommended.
