I needed quite few GFCI outlets, simplex outlets, and 20A outlets for

anywhere here in NJ that I've been.


Started checking around online and couldn't believe how cheap the
outlets were at Dale-Electric.com. *I decided to give them a try.
There website isn't the best in the world but if you download the pdf
of their catalog you can just enter the stock numbers of what you
want. *They don't even give you the shipping amount when you complete
your order but there is an estimate function.


My order totaled about $150 and when the shipping was added $159 was
charged to my card from "Hill electric". *Next day I got an email with
a tracking number and the day after that I got my stuff. *I have no
affiliation just passing on a place that has great prices on outlets.

Could you not have installed a couple of ground fault circuit breakers
or were too many circuits involved?


If it were only a few circuits only a few GFCI *outlets* would be
needed, too. *A GFCI outlet can protect all outlets downstream of it.



Correct. That is how I did my basement. Feed goes to a GFCI outlet
with 5 other protected outlets on the load side and one non-protected
dedicated outlet on the line side.
