• Outlets typically have multiple connection points for both wires of a circuit - this allows outlets to be easily connected in parallel.
• Outlets should always be installed in a junction box or other type of enclosure to ensure that all live metal parts are protected. If they are going to be installed outdoors, they must be installed in a suitable Weather rating|outdoor rated enclosure.
• If a system has an AC system ground|AC system ground then an AC system ground|equipment grounding conductor must be run to all outlets and the outlets should have three pins in order to provide a connection to ground to appliances for user safety.
• Outlets should not be installed in locations where they will be exposed to water or else a residual current device must be installed to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Connecting stranded wire to some types of outlets must be done very carefully to create a proper connection with no stray strands of wire.
• Ensure that all wires are properly attached to the outlet by gentely tugging on them after tightening the screws on the outlet.
