Ground down. *the other way looks stupid.


Horizontally. Then everybody can obsess about trivialities. Geesh!


Preferred orientation then is on the left. More info page 240,
Traister's ' Electrical Wiring' ISBN1-57218-092-7 at your local
library. The Pass & Seymour/Legrand product catalog shows all
receptacles in the vertical mode with ground at top. Note the ground
position on receptacles at a hospital next time you visit...grounds at
top.
