George,

I had seen the P&S with TOP stamped on the strap. I emailed them, I believe their answer was it didn't matter. So why indicate TOP?

The P&S 20A recepts have top stamped on them, which is ground up. But the 15A recepts do not.

I always give the customer a choice and discuss with them the why's and why not's. Most seem to like the ground down. When I put the receptacle sideways I put the neutral side on the top.

Bill, you didn't put your plate screw straight up and down. Go back and fix it please.

I figured diagonal would be best under the circumstances.

You could just all move to England where this isn't an issue. Probably a bit of drastic solution to avoid the problem though! [Linked Image]
