dlee Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I'm doing some receptacle inspections for a company that has a program for homebound computer operators. They're hiring me to check receptacles for grounding and polarity. I know that BX around here is commonly grounded just by screwing the 3-slot receptacle into the metal wall box - and the SureTest reads "OK" with that. But I'm inclined to say that such are not optimally grounded, and that greater ground security can be made by connecting from the receptacle to the box with wire. Agree? Or am I being too picky? -David Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlee Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Thanks, Douglas. I'll get on the horn tomorrow and see if any suppliers have any. I'm describing these receptacles to my client as having "passed" the SureTest, but not really securely or optimally grounded. That sound accurate to say it that way. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
