Hello! The outlet is indeed tamper-resistant. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know-- Better Living Store/Lighting and Locks 800-334-5804

We recently moved, so I can't locate it to tell you for sure. If I remember correctly, it only has a hole in the middle to secure to the outlet. I don't know that you could modify it without cracking it.

Mine is not, it fits the standard us outlet. I have ordered four of these in the last year and not had any issues.

Yes, the two I ordered were the updated models....HOWEVER, one of mine blew when I plugged in my low volt table lamp, and smoke rolled out of the wall unit. The unit takes the place of your wall plate on the outlet and screws into existing outlet. They are surge protected since when the one side outlet blew, it did not trip the breaker on this circuit. But I did have quite a wall burn above the outlet to sand, clean and re paint the wall. The 2nd one is working fine....and I put a smoke alarm on the ceiling just above the outlet in case this one fails when I gone or asleep. these are not ul listed.

That would not be a problem. I would make sure it is in a weather proof box for the outlet.

The x-7599 is tamper resistant. Well worth the extra few bucks if you have children in your house.

I think it says not to so I juggled my outlets around and did it without using a strip,then I did plug one into an outlet extender which is essentially a power strip at the wall outlet. It's been fine.

Yes, but if you need test resistence this devices dont do that. This device working for continuity.

If this is like the six outlet fixture - yes. The "protected" indicator is always on. Not only a nuisance in a bedroom but small but continuous power drain.

Certainly not. Even if you altered the plug, the outlets are still 115vac type. They may make a 220v version of this type if power strip, but I didn't buy that version and cannot comment further about it

ANY "home"electrical wiring is bound by rules of Electrical wiring Code.Do NOT believe such an installation would comply with that Code.Also this item is only rated for 15 Amperes of current so safe usage of such outlet would be VERY limited to only small items.NO Refrigerator,freezer,microwave etc.In short....,though the concept is valid...such usage on a home would likely be improper,illegal,unsafe and in violation of National,state and local electrical Codes.Also such usage could negate your home insurance,and/or disconnection by Power company,by virtue of such violation.There are safe,legal alternatives.

I think the surge protection would apply to all outlet including the USB. I use one of the USB port for a MagicJack Plus and it works fine although it sticks out of the wall a little bit.

Yes = the screw is long enough to secure to the outlet itself. In fact, I did not remove the outlet cover itself - just the screw. The I placed the Belkin Surge Master over the outlet cover and used the screw that came with it - to secure it.- This is my 5th one. I had to replace one because it failed after a couple of years. I assume because it did its job and protected my devices as intended. I keep an extra one around for a quick replacement.

Reading off of the item in my hand its Stamped "Voltage Protection rating L-N 400V, L-G 500V, N-G 500V Type 3 SPDMy model number on mine says BE11230-08 so there may have been a change.

I have found that it depends. I have successfully used mine with some power strips, but not others, likely due to the differences in how the surge protection, if any, on the strip is accomplished electrically. I have also had success with extension cords and output expanders.

No. It is strictly a Surge Suppressor outlet. Think of it as a single outlet power strip with surge suppression.
