House Wiring Does Make a Difference!

NOS Leviton 8300 from ebay ($~$6 each). I don’t know if the current 8300s are quite the same.

The recepticles are "back-fed"and there are two holes for each terminal (4 holes per side) with a jumper between the terminals. I used the deep boxes to allow more room to turn the wires. The case has a common ground.

The 8-gauge wire is multi-strand with 7 strands each. Strip the wire back, and separate it into a bundle of 3 and a bundle of 4 and push the two bundles into the two holes, where they easily fit (and could probably be multi-strand 6-gauge wire), and tighten down the side screws to secure the bundles.

Leave the jumper in place and from there, you can use the other two holes, again splitting the bundle to jump to the next recepticle. Code allows using these jumpers to pass the current.

The solid ground wire is a smaller gauge and can pass through the ground terminal lug on to the next recepticle without problem.

This is the NOS version, similar to what I have. Look at the back and you will see what I mean.

Don’t you fools know that science can only be done on paper and must come out of a textbook?

Otherwise it won’t be circular and won't come back on itself as a closed loop.

Help keep people safe. Make sure science remains circular.

Exploration and the new is outside, in the darkness, with the scary unknowns.

Us limited folks don’t want to deal with unknowns or be out of our depth.

Stop screwing around.

Thanks for the info. Yes, NOS doesn't necessarily surprise me. Things were much more versitle in earlier yrs. I was a builder/carpenter for most of my life. I don't remember the 4 holes per side but the picture doesn't lie. I know that today you can only use 12ga and above in those holes. And 10 ga is a real chore to get on the screws. Ahh, but they tell me that we are progressing.

with that said, i'm pretty sure the Oyaide outlets won't accept the 8 ga. Still, they are a good outlet . Enjoy the fruits of your labor now. Good job.

Did you post to the wrong thread. Your posts are usually well reasoned but this one doesn't seem to fit here

Science breaks through in the lab fool.
