Finn 7 five 11 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 A couple of outlets need replacing. Maybe I'll flip them while I'm at it. Most hardware stores sell 10 amp residential use receptacles for 99 cents plus tax. Installation is usually a breeze for me. The only struggle for me is using wire strippers. Use the wire nuts for making connections, not the holes in the back. The holes in the back will sometimes create loose, high resistance connections which can create fire hazards depending on current draw. EDIT: Sorry for the two-in-a-row post. I needed to give him some safety advice. But he's a physicist! I'm sure he knows where to get outlets, and how to safely install them, and you just c&p'd your other post over. I actually suck with math. K2 is the physicist, not you dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize how private the conversation you were having on a public message board was. Sorry, next time let us know who you are talking to in your post and i won't read it.
