We just purchased a home and had mixed color electrical outlets (in the same
room!!)and am replacing them with only 1 color. The first outlet was wired
very strangely. There were 1 Romax wire sets going into the box. Both black
were put together with a pigtail running to the hot one outlet. The 2
whites were run to the other outlet, one to hot and one to neutral, and the
connection between the 2 hots was removed. Anyone have any idea why this
would be run this way? I took off the pigtail and kept the 2 blacks
together and just used the 2 whites to power the whole outlet. All the
other outlets were normal. So far this is the only outlet like this. The
lights are on a separate circuit.
