Can I replace a two prong outlet with this one?

Yes watch what color you take wires off usually white screw goes to white wire and bronze screw goes with black wire

If you also have bare copper (ground wire) then yes, you can replace your current outlet with this one without issue. You would need to remove the current outlet, then use wire nuts to connect all black (2 existing and a new one coming out of this outlet, same for white) together, another to connect all 3 whites together, and a 3rd to connect the grounds together. The Ground wire coming out of this outlet is a green wire, this would connect to the bare copper ground wires that are connected you your existing outlet.

No, you cannot. You need a NEMA 6-50, however, it should be pretty easy to change the outlet.(that is if the existing circuit is wired with the proper gauge wire - 6GA I think - on its own dedicated 40A breaker)

What I have here is a one that goes into a two socket outlet.I hope that helps you.

In the US, you should be able to plug in two prong cables, power converters, etc. The third prong is for ground, so what ever you plug in with a two prong connector will simply not have a dedicated ground. But that should be ok, not everything needs a ground. If you are not in the US, or your house is not wired with three prong outlets, then you will not be able to use these cables and should return them.

The outlet is for 2 prong plugs but I have a 3 prong strip plugged into one for anything requiring it. It's a very convenient stand

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

I'm able to plug in a three prong (grounded extension cord) in the other outlet. It's a tight fit.

If you need an adapter, a hardware store person should be able to fix you right up, and it'd be only a few bucks. Bring a photo of your outlet fitting.

I don't think so. It has two flat prongs. You would need an adaptor and converter.

Yes as long as you prongs look like those shown in the example given. I bought two so I would have a spare. Good Luck.

It was a tight fit, but I was able to insert a 3 pronged plug into the second wall outlet. A 2 pronged plug should fit nicely.

Yeah, you should be able to. Just make sure it is something with three prongs because this has ground prong

I'm sorry I really wouldn't know, I'm not an electrician, I just replaced a outlet in my home. It's a nice product though it appears to work well.

Yes, I just went into the living room to double-check. There is plenty of room to plug a standard plug into the lower outlet. I doubt if you would have room to put a second one of these switches in there though.

I would not recommend doing so. Removing the grounding prong can result in an electrical hazard.
