@how_to_home: This extremely dangerous outlet install is far too common! #electrician #electricalwiring #electricalwork #wiring #electrical #DIY #howtohome
Does anyone live in a jurisdiction that doesn’t require pigtails? Why do we still have 2 screws?

I can’t remember a time seeing this but I do see people having both screws and then backstabbing more

35 years in the trade never have I come across this. The stab lock in the back is the weakest place on the device

Nobody doubles up wires like that. You shouldn’t even have 2 wires. Pigtails with one set of wires per device unless it’s a gfi to protect the next recep in line

Feeding through on a receptacle is also bad practice. I have replaced countless receptacles burnt up from this practice

I really don’t know why they put two terminals on these. It’s not good practice to rely on that little tab as a conductor. Use a pigtail.

Never double creates a loose connection pig tail together so you only have one wire per terminal
