If plugged into the the lower receptacle of a duplex and faced down, will it overlap a toggle switch in a 2-Gang 1-Toggle 1-Duplex setup?

I tried ineach of the two sockets, both up and down. Would not fitat all. Tried two other sockets as well. May just be my apartment although I have never had trouble with any other item. Just thought you might want to know.

The plug is shaped like a teardrop with the larger part having the two prongs. When plugged in it lies parallel with the face plate, i.e., it is perpendicular to the floor and extends beyond the faceplate, not into the other plug. So it shouldn't interfere with whatever you want to plug into the other receptacle. I hope that is clear.

Yes! You may have to cut off the connector and directly wire it. Always verify the pin that sticks down into it is tight and not shorter than normal. Do NOT over tighten the switch screws as this is often a life reducer for the switch body and can cause cracking of same.

We used this on a double outlet and it works very well. We used a triple switch plate cover with a blank.

I think this would work. These switches need more than a normal switch, but if you had a standard single-pole switch you should have enough room.HOWEVER - I attempted to install TWO of these switches in a double-gang box - this does not fit. I had to use a triple-gang and leave a space.But I think with a standard switch you would be fine.

As long as both are 2477D you are OK going 2, 3 or 4 way. You can not use generic switch for the second switch. GE Link will supports up to 6 way, why you would want that I have no idea but it will do it.

Yes, the other outlet is left open for another grounded plug. The prongs on back mirror the slots on the front as far as placement is concerned, although stacking modules isn't advised.

Another answer is correct also. Unless you have a divided duplex (where there are two circuits in one outlet), the entire duplex and connected items are all served by the one surge protector up to its electrical limits.

No. It fits side by side with (1) regular single pole toggle switch in a two-gang workbox. The depth is more of an issue. A standard 3-4" deep box will work if there are not too many wire junctions and pigtails made at the back of the box. To approximate the size, go to a supply store and look at a standard incandescent dimmer switch housing. You can cram it into the box, but beware of crushing or breaking stiff wiring connections made behind the housing.

Yes it will. As long as you have space for cables to run to the sides. The depth of these switches is enough to barely squeeze cables behind.

Home Depot, Lows and other hardware stores all have plates for double gang boxes. They are easier to find for the same style of switch. In your case, you would want to ensure your other switch or power plug is also a decora style (large rectangle shape). If it is not, it can easily be remedied by replacing whatever you have with one of that style.

Yes, I have two side by side with top plug turned up-side-down so both plugs fit in one outlet.

Yes, its about the same size as standard switch. I have 2 of these in a double gang box now and fits fine.

Hi blugirl. That's a good question. That would depend on how close the switches are, but yes there's a possibility that would happen. We suggest you set them farther apart from each other as much as possible.

The switched did'nt worked properly for me so I'm not able to answer your question. Sorry.

It fits in the space of a single gang box. Your question is confusing. IF you take out one switch, there will be room. YOu can not squeeze it in if the three spaces are occupied.

You can set each switch to have its own unique code via the dip switches on them. That way they do not interfere with each other.
