My question is how did you get them past UL?<br />The screws on the side can't hold the #12 solid wire in the back of the plug. If you turn the outlet over to screw in the wire on the other side the first wire will twist out. Still, I put it in the wall box that I had taken the 20 amp outlet out of. After plugging in the small transformer to power my phone, I saw that the unit was not staying snug in the outlet. Was to easy to fall out as the tongs were not strong enough to hold it. So I pulled it out and put back in the 10 yr old 20 Amp outlet that was in there before. I know this came from China but I would have thought Feit Elictric would have put out a unit better than this.

There is a single screw on each side, each screw can accept two wires so there is room for two HOT wires and two NEUTRAL wires and the ground is on the bottom.<br /><br />Loosen the NEUTRAL screw, slide the NEUTRAL wires under the plate, one in the high slot, the other in the low slot, then tighten down the screw. Repeat for the HOT wires.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-63436340972605567102018-04-01T20:42:07.840-07:002018-04-01T20:42:07.840-07:00My electrical outlets have four wires(2 brown and ...My electrical outlets have four wires(2 brown and two beige) and a ground.

We wanted to clarify that our USB outlets are USB 2.0 & 3.0 compatible and have a total combined charging capacity of up to 3.4 amps combined to deliver the quickest possible charge to your device. Cell phones typically draw slightly more than 1 amp and a larger device, such as an iPad, can draw slightly more than 2 amps. So when charged simultaneously in this way, the total available power can be up to 3.4 amps and you can charge Apple, Android, tablets, smartphones and more at maximum speed.<br /><br /> <br />In addition, we wanted to assure readers the product is UL approved for use per all certification requirements. The product is clearly marked accordingly. We can be reached at info@feit.com if we can clarify any further questions. <br />Feit Electrichttp://www.feit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-79293016217606047572017-10-23T10:03:37.879-07:002017-10-23T10:03:37.879-07:00You must assume 15 due to the lack of the horizont...You must assume 15 due to the lack of the horizontal neutral blade slot.

Our smartphones use USB 3 to charge faster so I assume these wall outlets won't charge at the faster rate. I have a Harmony remote that won't charge at the lower amps and I have a HP Touchpad also like that. I just have to remember to not even try to charge them with these. I have an Anker power adapter that is capable of USB 3 and good power adapters like that cost a little more since they need circuitry that adapts to the amount of power actually being used. My mother bought this product but I explained to her that it is not as good as the power adapters I bought.Sam of Southern Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069508776584646406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576180706756831838.post-87001884606674702852017-09-14T00:11:45.461-07:002017-09-14T00:11:45.461-07:00Thank you @Anonymous for confirming that the Feit ...Thank you @Anonymous for confirming that the Feit Electric Wall Outlets with USB Ports can be used to charge your Apple devices.
