I almost had an aneurysm installing that crap under these really expensive Belgian cabinets one time. When your using that stuff you basically HAVE to use the special clips they come with otherwise your in for a world of pain.
You do have to use tamper plug code in 2008. As far as I know they only make the metal right now. I just did a kitchen remodel and no supplier I could find makes the plastic yet. The plastic is easier to install and I dont mind too much BUT I HATE THE METAL! Customer gets what customer wants sad but true....
Must say I am not looking foreward to the rule on TR. Just installed my first one the other day (VA is now on 05). I was adding a receptacle for a community center that I do volunteer work. Thought with lots of kids around it could not hurt. Installed it and the plastic seems a little cheesy, and then realized my test ticker would not work and I had to get a receptacle tester just to see if it was hot.
Got to wonder how often this will really save lives, looks like a feel good move to me,or profits for the manufacturers.
when that is what is in your pocket, just to verify the hot. I had just wired it, there was only one, was fairly sure that open neutral or ground was not likely.
And depending on what day it is I may be the ones who don't know:thumbsup:
