15 Amp 125-Volt Tamper and Weather Resistant Duplex Electrical Outlet, White

A:  Hello, This unit TWR270W--is not made in the USA, but is made in Mexico and is NAFTA qualified. Thank you.

A:  No. GFCI protects against electrocution. These sockets just help in preventing little tiles from inserting objects into the socket as well as to protect against weather issues. They can be hurt if you use this instead of a GFCI. Ideally you have a GFCI upstream from these receptacles, else you risk electrocution.

A:  I wouldn't recommend it to replace a gfci

A:  Thank you for your question. This product cannot you used to replace a GFCI outlet.

A:  Yes, as long as there is a GFCI outlet at a location prior to this location on the same circuit, or if the circuit is fed with a GFCI breaker.

A:  No. No way. Offers no GFCI protection. Spend the extra $15 and get a GFCI outlet.

A:  Yes, it does have holes in the back for electrical wires.

A:  I can’t say if there are holes in the back to put the wires in, but it absolutely has screws on the sides to secure the wires properly Any time saved by backstabbing a device is quickly lost when the wimpy springs inside loosen the connections and you spend hours searching the break in a room full of receptacles that don’t work because one of them isn’t feeding through My guys know that they are fired immediately if they are caught backstabbing a receptacle. It is an unacceptable risk Use the screws

A:  Thank you for your question. Yes, the device does contain holes in the back for connecting wires.

A:  yes

A:  Yes, but you should bend the wire over and tighten under the screw to create a better connection, and maximize the life of the receptacle.

A:  The holes in the back are only for #14 solid wire. If you're using #12 then you must use screws.

A:  Yes, but deffinatly bend the wire over and tighten under the screw.

A:  No the outlets are not compatible with aluminum wiring only copper

A:  No, you can not use aluminum wiring with this outlet.
