RE: Steel parts.

Hi Al,

I anticipated that there were other unique features of hospital grade receptacles, thus my lame disclaimer, 'There may be others, but I don't think they are important in this context'.

I guess the metal backstrap issue is indeed an important one. Fortunately, I am making good progress toward replacing all non-audio grade receptacles with Oyaide on my dedicated lines and all of my outlet boxes are plastic.

But this does bring up a question: I have a couple of good-quality outlet strips whose housings are metal and use non-audio grade Hubbell receptacles. These receptacles are isolated ground models - does this control the backstrap coupling with the housing or do I need to take additional steps to eliminate this?

Thanks for improving my understanding (as always).

Best,
Dave
