Has anybody looked at these yet? http://www.passandseymour.com/whatsnew/plugtail.html . I wonder what the long term reliablity will be, and how well that thing in the back stays in.
Theres always enough room in the junction box.You just need a bigger hammer

So do you think they use 12 or 14 awg wire on the pigtail, and how would that affect the install if put on a 20 amp circ?

"Did everyone notice that in the picture the outlet is installed gound pin up?" Yes, I noticed that it was upside down, too! It even has writing on it that's right reading when it's rightside up, and they still got it wrong. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/wink.gif)

The cut sheet says the PlugTail conductors are #12 THHN copper conductor, 6" leads, stripped, solid or stranded and rated as permanent part of the device.

It looks a little odd at first, but thinking about it further it should be all right so long as the actually connectors are tight.
It looks as though they might be a slight variation on the 1/4-inch spade terminals which are common in automotive applications. The latter stand up to high-ish currents at low voltages, with lots of movement and vibration.
