Stabbing outlets in the back
Apropos recent threads here about "back-stabbed" outlets, a data point:
New client, big multi-million-dollar house high up in the Berkeley/Oakland hills, less than 15 years old, very well built, client has good relationship with builder. All outlets are wired through back-wire connections (*not* screw connections). Client reports no electrical problems. Maybe this isn't so bad as some people make it sound. It certainly seems to be the preference of a lot of electricians who want to get the place wired up fast. For myself, I will continue to use the screw terminals, as I don't have to meet any kind of schedule in my work. -- Made From Pears: Pretty good chance that the product is at least mostly pears. Made With Pears: Pretty good chance that pears will be detectable in the product. Contains Pears: One pear seed per multiple tons of product. (with apologies to Dorothy L. Sayers) |
