Did a new construction inspection this week that had the new “TR” receptacles installed, all of my testers have Hot and neutral pins of the same size so getting the tester into the outlet is very difficult, anyone know of an adapter ?
The size of the pins shouldn’t matter. They’ll open up the little doors just the same way as a plug with the same size blades. The TR’s don’t open up if you’re putting the tester in at a slight angle. Just have to make sure that they’re going in at the same exact time. I installed them in our house a couple of months ago because of our toddler and have never had any difficulty plugging anything in.
Sorry… didn’t bother with the videos. If I see you-tube links on this board, I automatically think that the poster is giving a humorous approach to the subject.
I know what you mean Gerry, been dealing with this for months now, have to wiggle the tester to the point of it sounding like the outlet is going to break in pieces. Real junk. Found some GFCI types that would not allow a tester at all. I’ll try a laptop charger cord on some next time to see if it has the same problem.
Good to know that I’m not the only one who has experienced difficulty with these. I called some out for replacement a couple months ago on a warranty inspection. The client had already damaged a few because they were having problems plugging in devices as well.
this is what happens when yankees transplant to Texas & believe the interweb garbage that tr aren’t all that
mag locks on all cabinetry didn’t work cuz the kid prolly swallowed the mag
