The one in your photo is clearly polarized, though.

Some years ago I met a manufacturing exec who had what purported to be a Panasonic duplex 5-15R. It hads an oddly shaped mounting bracket, like it was to be screwed onto a surface rather than into a box. I believe it also had a green ground lead rather than a ground screw. Has anyone else ever seen one of these? He was using it to scare factory workers with the threat of Japanese competition.

JoeKP:
Reno does not have a monopoly on situations like this. I have numerous situations where the final inspection is approved, and then 'things' appear. This happens both resi and comm.

As to getting it 'fixed'...sometimes it's tough, sometimes it generates additional work for the sparky of record.

Neon signage and border lighting are a notorious item. 'Beer' signs, to many for the installed window recepts are a pain also.

I have one resi that had a skylight 'added' to the master bath...heck with the wiring running thru the joists! And a lot more 'modifications' beside that.

Soda coolers, soda dispensers, deli equip, portable coolers, etc.....they all magically show-up after 'Final'.
