A: I installed the product myself. I would check with your local electrician and get bids.
A: Your self flip breaker off 1 screw driver Unscrew 1 cover, 2 mount screws unscrew 3 wires if end of run 5 wires if in middle. Reassemble Electrician -$300 min. U paying for his trip, his license if he got one. And his insurance if he burns downhome

A: The outlets could probably handle the current but it all depends upon the the circuit it's on. It would have to be a 30 amp circuit (wiring and breaker), carrying no other loads at that time. Each 1800w appliance should be on a circuit of its own.
A: No, general use receptacle circuits are limited to no more than 20 amps and you are asking about 30 amps. The only way you could plug two 1800 watt devices into this receptacle is if you split wire it with two 20 amp, 120 volt circuits.
A: 15 amp is total, that is regulated by your circuit breaker. If it is a 15 amp breaker than the total load of ALL draw on that breaker cannot exceed 15 amps. Watts and amps are different, you need to read the appliance instruction(s) as to how many amps the unit(s) draw.
A: 15 amps total. Not sure about the 1800w, check how many amps they pull
A: No and Yes. The way the outlet is (out of the box or off the shelf) No, it can Not handle 15 amps X 2 outlets or 1650 Watts for Each single plug in. On the other hand if you Remove the "Bridges" between the screws on both sides of the outlet you would then be creating 2 separate outlets in which you will need to run a separate circuit from the breaker box to that outlets location and install another circuit breaker in the electrical panel. Then the old existing wiring will go to the top half of the plug and the new circuit you just ran will go to the bottom half of the plug. If this is in a Kitchen? You'll need to install GFCI OUTLETS like this: https://amzn.to/2S1g4WW and you can Not split the bridge, you'll have to install a Quad outlet (2 GFCI'S side by side) then put one GFCI on the existing circuit and put the other GFCI on the new circuit you just ran. Hope this helps.
A: No
A: No
A: Hi Guy no they are not so called self grounding outlets, the box still need to be grounded with a ground wire run from the electrical panel
A: No, these residential grade wiring devices are not of the self grounding type.
A: yes provided the box is as well.
A: There is no such thing as a "self grounding" outlet. Not sure what you mean by that. There should be 3 wires coming into the box. Black wire is HOT side, White wire is neutral or ground. The green wire is the safety ground which is also neutral.
A: Hi Guy NO receptacles are self grounding you need a ground wire from your electrical panel to ground an outlet, switch, etc.
A: 20 amp , https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-20-Amp-Commercial-Grade-Duplex-Outlet-White-R62-CBR20-00W/202066702?MERCH=REC-_-Pip_Alternatives_Non_HDhome-_-202066670-_-202066702-_-N
A: Yes but don't do it... Use the screws, the push in gives you a razor blade thickness of contact, the screws give you obviously much much more... The push in system is a short cutting system for Contractors looking for speed over quality... bad connections lead to arcing, arcing leads to fire... In a few years, Electricians are going to realize that the main reason for AFCI "problems" IS the push in wiring...
A: Hello, No is the Answer to your question. Outlets that are "Tamper Resistant" will have it written on the packaging to describe what you are purchasing. Example: LEVITON 15 AMP RESIDENTIAL GRADE TAMPER RESISTANT DUPLEX OUTLET, WHITE (10-PACK) That is what you're looking for. They're a little more expensive but you no longer need the Plastic things "parents to be" shove in outlets so toddlers don't put other things in the plugs, oh and I should mention that it is now Code to have "Tamper Resistant" outlets through out your home. This means if you "Install" a new circuit, the outlet has to be TR. If you are just changing outlets in your home, It's a good idea to go ahead and follow suit (install the TR outlets) even in the bathrooms, the garage, the unfinished area and kitchen the GFCI outlets need to be TR just FYI. If you're in the NOVA area and in need of a Master Electrician after all this Covid-19 is over 7033509963 don't forget if you go out to wear a mask. Stay Safe and I hope this Helps.
A: No, put covers on them
A: Hi Lakehouse the Model # M24-05320-WMP outlet is NOT tamper resistant you will need Model # M22-T5320-WMP
A: No, these are not tamper resistant.
A: NO! These are not tamper resistant outlets with the shutter to keep the openings closed unless both are accessed at the same time. These outlets do not have that feature. Tamper-resistant outlets cost quite a bit more than these outlets, and I do not find them to be a benefit in the places install the outlets.
A: No, tamper resistant receptacles will be marked with a "TR" on the face and will have little shutters covering the slots.
A: No they are not
A: You would need to install the plastic tamper resistant inserts
A: No they are not.
A: Noah, the outlet should be compatible with both copper and aluminum but this is a question for the manufacturer.
A: Yes, it should be no problem.
A: yes
