Hi everyone.

Here is the question I have regarding the Little Brass clip that is stamped into the 6/32 slot for receptacles which then gives them the title of a grounded receptacle.

Someone argued with me yesterday that little clip makes it quite alright to leave the device not fully tightened down to the drywall ring.

For instance, when the mud ring is a 1/2" back in the wall and you can still catch the 6/32 screw thread on the mud ring, but obviuosly the outlet is not secured to the box.

The only listed install I can see is to use the meal or platic extensions for in wall openings with a ground wire from the box to the green ground terminal. Does anyone think thats wrong?

Is there an outlet listed for laying on the drywall surface subject to the short life of a plastic cover. Am I Missing the Listing on grounded receptacles somewhere?
