When Do I Need New Outlets?

While homeowners rely heavily on electricity in their daily lives, it can be challenging to determine the exact moment when new outlet installation or replacement is necessary. However, there are clear signs that indicate the need for outlet updates:

1. Increased Electrical Demand: If you find yourself continuously utilizing power strips or surge protectors as a temporary solution, it may be time to install additional outlets to meet your electrical needs.

2. Visible Outlet Damage: Wear, discoloration, or cracking of your outlets are obvious signs that they need to be replaced immediately, as these conditions pose a serious risk of electrical fire.

3. Ungrounded Outlets: Outlets with the standard two-plug slots, but without the "ground" wire hole, are considered ungrounded and are no longer up to code. These should be replaced to ensure the safety of your home.

How Do I Install An Outlet?

1. Connect wires according to the WIRING DIAGRAM. For side-wiring, remove approximately 4/5" (20mm) of insulation from each circuit conductor, then loop the wires clockwise 3/4 turn around the terminal screws and firmly tighten them with a torque force of 14-16 in-lbf.

2. Mount the device in a standard wall box using the provided screws and attach the wall plate.

3. Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse. The installation is now complete.

ATTENTION: - Always turn off power at the service panel before working with wiring to prevent severe shock or electrocution. - Do not install the receptacle in wet locations or where it can be splashed with liquid. - If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.
