In Reply to: I'm gettn' my popcorn! I'll be right back to watch the fun. .. posted by Smelly_Socks on July 13, 2016 at 10:32:47:
I have typically replaced ALL the wall outlets in my apartments when I move in. The old ones are typically worn out. (And never replaced by anyone until the are completely broken, ditto in a home)
I use ordinary Pass & Seymour 'heavy duty' 20A outlets. Some other brands are definitely NOT as good.
I hope you replaced the duplex receptacles for the size of the branch feeding them. Only a 15 amp receptacle can be installed on a 15 amp branch circuit.
A 20 amp receptacle can only be installed on a 20 amp branch circuit.
Two or more 15 amp receptacles can be installed on a 20 amp branch circuit. (A duplex receptacle is two receptacles.)
Technically, in a dwelling unit, the receptacles should be tamper resistant per NEC Code.
