Will this allow a grounded (3-prong) US plug to fit into a 2-prong outlet?

Yes it can. If that is your only requirement, I'd recommend getting a "3-Prong to 2-Prong adapter" (search on Amazon) since that way you can ground the prong to the house ground via the outlet. It's safer and cheaper.

It does not accommodate the "ground" of the B plug though B plug will fit into the converter (the ground prong remains outside of the converter device), so you lose the value of the ground. In some instances that doesn't matter, but in some instances it may.

One needs to purchase an appropriate plug converter. Something like thatVCT VP18 UK to USA Plug Adapter Converts 3 pin British Plug to 3 Prong Grounded USA Wall Plug(you may google it)

It will fit any outlet, but inside its a tight fit. Two and three prong cords will fit but anything larger like a boxy adapter will not

Yes. It has a 3 pronged for the ground. You would have to have a 3 pronged outlet to plug it into.

It's a regular household non grounded 2 prong plug.. I would think you could get a 3 prong grounded adapter for about a dollar at any hardware store(Homedepot Lowes..

Physically you can plug the adapter into a 3 pole North American outlet. Of course, you will NOT have ground connection and protection.

Yes you have ability for 2 or 3 prong plugs as long as they are straight and not at angle. The key with this strip is the individual switch

It has a three pronged plug... I would recommend you use it on a grounded outlet.

It will allow a small 2 prong plug to also be used but, not a 3 prong plug.

It plugs into a 3 prong outlet. I has indicators to tell if the outlet is grounded too.

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

No. It is three-pronged. Which means it is a grounded plug. The third prong is for safety If you use it with an adapter, it will disable the. circuit protection and safety feature if an electrical surge comes through.

I just checked it. Two prong plug - polarized with one prong being slightly larger. Standard plug for US will accept it.

Yes, three prong fits. One hot, one neutral, one round ground. The ground snaps and makes a snug fit. I cannot guarantee the ground completes a circuit. Answer to question asked is yes.

I don't think so. I don't use it that way. I've seen converter plugs that turn 3prong into 2prong. I think this plug doesn't have room on the back to user 2 converters.

It may depend on how your outlet is configured. All of my outlets are horizontal with the two prong and ground holes facing the same direction. I have the Surge Protector on the right side (maybe your top outlet), and there is enough room for another three prong (grounded) plug to fit in the left side (maybe your bottom outlet). In your scenario, this is assuming that the third prong (grounded) hole is on the bottom for each outlet. Now if you are only plugging in a two prong in the other outlet, this appears to be a non-issue. Hope this helps!
