Wiring a Grounded Duplex Receptacle Outlet
Leviton's TR receptacles are permanent and reliable. They are designed to help protect children from the hazards of inserting foreign objects into electrical receptacles, A shutter mechanism inside the device blocks access to the contacts unless a two-prong plug is inserted, helping ensure foreign objects will be locked out. Tamper-resistant receptacles are required by Canadian Electrical. These receptacles (and switches) are called self-contained devices or 'SCD' for short. Readily available all over the place. If you have one now that has a T-slot that accepts a 15 or 20 amp plug, your circuit may not actually be 20 amps. Check the breaker and wire rating and if 15 amp, you can use a duplex or single 15 amp recept. Or a T-slot one. See full list on homedepot.com.
This is a standard 15 amp, 120 volt wall receptacle outlet wiring diagram. This is a polarized device. The long slot on the left is the neutral contact and the short slot is the hot contact. A grounded contact at the bottom, center is crescent shaped. Don't use this receptacle when no ground wire is available.
This receptacle can typically be found in living room and bedroom wall outlets. One of these may be controlled with a switch and/or wired to other outlets in the circuit. For a 15 amp receptacle like this, 14/2 cable with ground should be used to feed the circuit.
Hello! I posted a question about this last week, and while I have done a lot of research since then and feel more comfortable with it, I do have some additional questions. I am in the process of changing out receptacles and light switches in a mobile home. They currently have what I guess is called “self-contained” boxes where the wires snap in to them in the back. I want to change them out with regular outlets and switches that have the terminal screws. Here are the questions I currently have.
Outlets
For the most part I’ve got these figured out; however I want to confirm this. I have 2 grounding wires at each outlet. Will I pig tail these together and then attach to the green screw? That is what I saw on another website and want to make sure it is correct.
Switches
This one I’m a little unsure of. Each one of my light switches has 3 sets of wires, 2 coming in the bottom of the box and 1 coming in at the top. The new light switches only have the grounding screw and the 2 screws for the black wires. Questions:
1.Pigtail all 3 ground wires and attach to ground screw?

2.Wire nut all 3 white wires together and push to the back of the box?

3.Will 2 of the black wires need to be pig tailed and attached to one screw while the 3rd black wire attaches directly to the other screw? Someone mentioned on another website that in mobile homes the set of wires coming from the top of the box is to the light fixture in the ceiling while the 2 coming in at the bottom are the 1) power source and 2) Runner to an outlet. Does that mean the 2 on the bottom should be pig tailed together? Currently I’m working on single pole switches that do not operate anything other than the light fixture in the ceiling.
The help would be appreciated. We don’t want to do something wrong :/
