Yup. In a few more pages it'll be about gay marriage and which way a 120v receptacle should be mounted

I thought a 120v receptacle only works if you used a male & female.

More drift:

Back when, our corporate offices marked the gender of the bathrooms with male and female cord ends glued to the doors.

Thread drift. Everything people have to offer about EA has been hashed and rehashed, so the thread is destined to either morph or die.

For now it's morphing.

and soon to die as well.

Ironic that you have over 40 posts in this thread.......

Like most threads on this site, strictly for my entertainment.

I make my credit card work for ME! Everything gets paid with my CC, pay off at end of month, and rack up points that I save to make other purchases.
CITI has been great in backing me up with fraudulent charges, disputes, whatever.. and they double the manufactures warrantee.

Why close the thread while the order site is still up.
That site or at least the checkout page should be shut down or locked in some way.

The right side of the search screen says permanently closed. But click on the site and...
I just picked out an item, put it in the cart and paypal and other payment methods are still listed. The Paypal Icon highlights as well when hovered over. So the checkout page is not just in display mode.
No I am not going to hand them over $800 just to
"see"

It sure looks like they are still able to 'take' Orders and money.

Not at all. Just stating my view of most all threads on this site.

Yes but do you mount with the ground on top or bottom?
Also, do you put screw lines vertical or horizontal?
This is important stuff!

Ground on top, of course! If you put it on bottom there's a risk of something falling across the terminals of the plug,* causing a short.
Next you will be asking us how to install a roll of toilet paper!!!


* assuming that you don't bother to plug it in properly.

I mount them all sideways with the neutral lug down so as to not offend anyone. Plus one side has a short 6" male plug so it can go either way. It can even plug into itself, but I try not thinking about that.

Actually the electricians mantra is "ground is down the world around."

 

[ultrarunner]

I've had a frame slide down the wall and short out on the neutral and hot lug and it was glowing for a moment...

Don't think the short could have happened if ground was on top...

Don’t you mean “the” and “they”?

I've always see the ground down in residential and up in commercial and hospitals. Ultrarunner?

The inspector wanted Ground Down at the Hospital...

Red signifies tied to emergency generator circuit and the green dot signifies hospital grade…

I always have put the ground down. And with the new angled cords ground up would be turning the cord up instead of nicely down close to the wall.

And ground up is code in some places (North Carolina when I was there) really messes up those angled plugs.
