Review on Leviton CR20-E 20-Amp Commercial Grade Narrow Body Duplex Receptacle - Black: Self Grounding & Straight Blade by John Frazier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Get rid of dangling plugs from cheap outlets

I used them to replace outlets that were too easy to unplug. One had an electric heater plugged in, and when a bird flew near my house, the plug would fall out. Okay, I made that up, but the plugs were really loose. The end of the cable also got very hot. Both problems are gone now. The outlets that were there before were a cheap $3.49 for 10 at the big department store. You are much better. Because they are rated for 20 amps, they must be connected to 12 gauge wire, not 14 gauge wire.

Pros
