Cheap receptacles vs heavy duty
I've used the "50 cent" ones exclusively for every position. No problems.
If one seems to get a bit loose from over use, then I just pop in a new one. there's not many places in the house where stuff gets plugged in and out a lot. -- Steve Barker "SMF" wrote in message ... Hi, Is there a good opinion about choosing the proper receptacle. When browsing HD there are receptacles which range from 50 cents up to 6 dollars. There are some in between for around $2.00 which state commercial contractor quality. I have replaced my older two prong outlets with the $2.00 ones for equipment such as table lights, computer, TV ect. I am wondering however whether these are also ok for other equipment such as refrigerators or washing machines or should those go on a heavy duty one? The majority of my wiring in the house is 20amp. Thanks, SF |
