Many of them predate the wide neutral blade. The proper solution is to not use those adapters. Yeah, just cut off the ground prong instead... Or just replacethe outlet - replace with a GFCI if there is no ground available and document it as required by code whooosh... Sounds like a plumber commenting on electric work. Clare is right. 406.4(D)(2)(b) A non€“grounding-type receptacle(s) shall be permitted to be replaced with a ground-fault circuit interrupter-type of receptacle(s). These receptacles or their cover plates shall be marked €śNo Equipment Ground.€ť An equipment grounding conductor shall not be connected from the ground-fault circuit-interrupter-type receptacle to any outlet supplied from the ground-fault circuit-interrupter receptacle. |
