Can't get the Leviton site to work for me.

I've just installed their 5225-WSP Combination Switch and Receptacle.
This is the older, non-Decora, style which fits a normal duplex outlet
wall plate. This item is a Grounding type, with the third hole in the
front. The house does not have grounding wires. In California, it is not
required to upgrade, but you can't use three-hole outlets unless
grounding is provided. Does anyone know the Leviton product line well
enough to know if they make a non-grounding version of this
switch/receptacle? Or, alternately, whether it is acceptable to plug the
third hole with . . . oh, I don't know . . . chewing gum or JB Weld or
suchlike?


They make a combination switch GFCI on a single yoke that you could use
in place of the switch receptacle. GFCIs are acceptable as replacements
in outlet boxes that have no ground in the enclosure. You can see the
device at
