We have old wiring with only 2 pronged plugs. We use adapters for 3 pronged plugs. These protrude quite a bit from the wall. Will thesefit under this?

I am doubtful. The cord has to bend and come back towards the wall where the hole on bottom of cover is. Would be tight I think

There are about 2" of clearance inside the unit to give you an idea. I think it will depend on how stiff the cord you're plugging into the adapter is. For example, a typical lamp cord is pretty flexible and I would guess will fit fine with a typical adapter. However, a stiff, straight plug like those found in a lot of surge protectors definitely will not fit with an adapter.

I do believe the adapter and the plug will both fit inside the outlet cover. They have 2in depth of space on the inside.

It should. They are pretty bulky and i use it to cover a huge plug that takes up both outlets.

i would buy the adapter ends. They adapt 3 prong to 2 prong and cost about a buck . However,they do sell 3" extension cords that are 2 prong in local hardware stores. BEST BET IS TO SEARCH A BIT HARDER ON AMAZON

A 2 prong should be no problem. 3 prong -- maybe. I think it is about 3/4 of an inch.

I don't know if this helps, but I ran a 3 prong male plug from a small refrigerator though it. I had to angle it, but it went through.

You have a couple of questions here- let me attempt to answer the first. Don't believe the design would allow for you to mount directly over an electrical outlet since it is designed to fit flush to the wall. Understand why you want to hide the wires. In lieu of recessed outlet you might consider a spacer board (cut to the size of the mount and around your outlets) to give you a solid mount and a way to connect to outlets. Good luck!

I believe It's the same size as a standard wall outlet, it should fit. All of my large three prong plugs fit in them.

should be fine, however you MUST make sure that both electric receptacles are 3 prong. These will not work with adapters or anything else- 3 prong plugs into 3 prong receptacles and it should be fine

No it won't. When I purchased it the seller had answered this question that it would fit, so I ordered the two. Only to discover that the end is much too wide to fit. I'm wondering if the portion surrounding the plug can be filed down.

Most TVs have plugs on the back but they're on an inverted shelf so that when you plug in a cable they hang straight down. If this is the case there should be no clearance problem. If the plugs direct the cable straight back into the wall there may be a problem but you still have about 2" to work with. Best of luck.

They do fit in firmly, both the USB and the three-prong outlets. The only issue I have is that I have one mounted vertically on the side of my bedside table and the bracket they supply to hang it on does not hold the unit firmly.

Hi Amanda, I actually used it with the two adapters, one on each side and it worked well. You just need to make sure that it is tight enough when you screw the pieces that will contact the wall and the bar,

Yes, but it is kind of chunky so unless you put it at the end, it'll cover up another outlet on the strip. Make sure it's a strip with the 3 holes for each plug, not 2.

Yes. There is room for the other plug if you use it on top. You can plug in the bottom outlet and use a 2 pronged plug on top, but not a 3 pronged grounded plug.

It has plenty of room and i am sure flat plug will fit into that. But there might be twist in wire in L shape as per my imagination. another option is, use adapter to decrease the depth of the plug section.

I assume one of the prongs is a bit larger (more square)? That is the modern polarity plug and sometimes they will not fit into old outlets. A couple-dollar adapter bought at any hardware store will cure your problem (take fixture with you so hardware store people know what you are talking about) or, you can update the outlet in your home that you want to use, with a new design outlet (not easy for untrained person to do and could be dangerous to try by yourself).

It's like most adapters, I put it at the end but I still loose the one next to it(it covers the ground hole slightly). I guess if you had a two prong cord that was thin, you could probably still plug it in, haven't tried that one yet. My strip has all three prong cords in it.

The original adapter for mine was the square where this is more of a rectangle. You will be able to plug something next to this fine if you are using a wall socket and plugging this into the top slot and anything can plug into the bottom socket. If you are using something like a surge protector then this will cover 2 slots.
