What is the difference between a 1-gang and 2-gang pop-out outlet?

How many devices are in a place. Example if their are 2 switches on the wall it is known as a 2 gang. If there is 2 switches and 1 outlet it is known as a 3 gang

1 gang is one device in the box. Two gang is two devices in a box. In this case 2 pop-outs side by side

With the Adorne pop-out outlet, the 1-gang can only fit into a one-gang situation, such as replacing a single outlet. The 1-gang is too big for a multiple gang installation, so the 2-gang pop-out outlet is slightly smaller and accommodates multiple gang installations.

I can only speak to the 1-gang pop-out outlet which has the capability of plugging in 3 different cords--that's why I found it necessary only to buy the 1-gang for my kitchen island.

Spacially, these are small, without the length and the cord of the surge protector. I attach them to the end of a single cord and move them with the appliance (window fan for instance). Because of the way they are designed, you can use 2 on an outlet: one doesn't get in the way of the other place to plug-in. Sometimes you just want a switch for an appliance with an iffy switch. This does the job simply. For old, 2-prong ungrounded devices, I thought it might add some grounding (at least is a grounding plug, I presume it helps with grounding, but I'm no electrician). You'd have to check whether these add surge protection..... Spacially, these are small, without the length and the cord of the surge protector.

With an adapter and the green wire of the adapter grounded to the faceplate screw if it's grounded. This defeats purpose of 6 outlet surge as it would stick out from wall...else have electrician change wall outlet to 3 prong with ground. "Hairy" way is to cut off gnd (U shaped blade) on 6 outlet device and only use it for 2 prong devices which may eliminate surge protection. Considered very dangerous to do this if plugging in devices calling for a ground!!!!

On the back side there is one 3-prong plug, so it would not fit into a 2-prong (non-grounded) outlet.

I was in Florence and every outlet in my room was 3 holes. I was told 2 prong plugs might not be spaced far enough apart to reach the outer 2 holes. Supposedly 2 holes are the old style and 3 are new. Modern hotels or recently renovated ones will have 3, but older homes may have 2. I followed online advice and bought 3 which was what I needed

If you have a single gang junction box, you want to use the MultiPlate. The MultiMount is best on a flat ceiling / wall.

I installed these at my future inlaws house (which is newer) and easily fit them in a single gang box. They are a bit bigger than a traditional plug so you can't fit as much extra wire behind them, and may have to trim the wires in the box shorter / push them back through the hole in the box for there to be enough room.

If by "gang switch" plate you mean a "switch combo" with multiple interrupters sharing a single cover plate, mine shares a 3-hole plate. I chose to use a sectional cover plate rather than the standard single casing 3-hole cover plate. Also, while in my installation the timer shares the same cover plate with two light switches, the wiring for each switch is independent. Each switch in the combo has its own standalone electric wiring; they do not share the same breaker. One consideration to keep in mind is the space size that houses the "switch combo". The timer requires a bit more "room" (not too much more) than the average single light switch. When in doubt, consulting with a professional electrician would be my best advice.

one outlet and the color is chrome, Save your money don't buy, if you buy this, Please read my feedback again and make sure you have the right materials to do the replacement the first time.

Sorry. Don't know. Check the iGo website. I don't use their products anymore. They have a splitter for sale so that you can plug two devices into one socket and they market it knowing that it will not power two devices. It actually drained the power out of one device. It took a lot of time to figure out the problem and then they admitted to it but still kept selling it. Everyone is the family has iPhones, etc. now so we don't need different plug-ins.

Only one of the outlets is controlled by z-wave. The other acts as a normal receptacle which is always on.

It is a two pronged plug and it fit in my US outlet just fine. One of the prongs is taller than the other; some outlets, maybe older ones, will not accommodate it.

The outlet unit only takes one outlet. I often have another appliance in the other and there is plenty of space. I have been using for a week and still very happy with the performance.

I wish I could give you an exact name, but it's not a standard outlet that's for sure. It's a 3 pronged appliance outlet used for heavy duty appliances, where the prongs are not parrallel but perpendicular. I hope this helps...good luck.

No, its just add 6 outlets where you have 2 now. Remember not to overload outlet just because there 6 slots.

2 outlets on one side that have a cover for it and 1 outlet on the other side that does not have a cover

I think so. It only has prongs for one outlet. It has a plastic prong for the bottom half of the outlet, just for support. I had to break the plastic part off with pliers to get it to fit in my GFCI outlet. The spacing between the top and bottom must be different than a standard outlet.
