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?


Just do it the old fashioned way. Get a grounding adapter.

That won't do me any good: The box is non-metallic, there is no ground
wire, and the wiring is simply Romex (or some earlier cloth-covered
variation).

The problem is NOT that I have a two-hole receptacle that I want to
convert to grounded. I am seeking a two-hole (non-grounding) version of
the Leviton 5225 combination switch/receptacle in a non-Decora style.
