Clowns will do what clowns will do.

I'm Guilty as charged!

But the outlet adapter I referred to was like one several items down on
that page: "GE 6 Outlet Wall Plug Adapter Power Strip, Extra Wide
Spaced Outlets for Cell Phone Charger, Power Adapter, 3 Prong, Multi
Outlet Wall Charger, Quick & Easy Install, For Home Office, Home
Theater, Kitchen, or Bathroom, UL Listed, White, 50759".

This adapter replaces the original cover plate from a common dual
outlet. It is held in place with a central screw. Several other
slightly different configurations are also available. They are commonly
found in hardware stores.

If these adapters are illegal, I was not aware of it.

Fred
is it UL listed? If not it's not "legal" .Most of them are of
"questionable" quality at best, even if they have approval stickers.
My bigger issue is the extention cord cable used to connect to the
box. What size/rating is the cable? Bet it's NOT a 14 gauge cable.
Also, how did you connect the fine stranded wire to the outlet? I've
seem too many that have not been done safely - and with 6 outlets you
are likely to very quickly overload a 16 or 18 gauge wire.
