non-grounding version of receptable
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? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westphalia: "Mellow Yellow (The Electrical Banana)" KG6RCR |
