These New Plugs & Switches Have Changed How Electricians Wire - Leviton Edge E5325

[@Espiritiv]

Basically a WAGO built into a switch or receptacle. Genius.

[@TheJacks]

Right, tha ks for the comment

[@FallLineJP]

This looks great. I have to redo a bunch of old plugs in our house. Looks like I know what I’m using now. I wish they would provide a second ground terminal so you don’t have to have a separate wago/wirenut for the grounds when piggy backing outlets in plastic boxes 🤓

[@TheJacks]

Yeah I agree, but I'm a big splice cap guy

[@martf1061]

Nice. But is there a removable jumper between the top and bottom of the outlet?

[@TheJacks]

At first glance no you can't use them as a switched plug, but it has a plastic piece right were that would be and might be a way

[@ac7384]

These commercial ?

[@Espiritiv]

@@ac7384 my guess is the Decora Edge is going to be residential and Lev Lok their commercial industrial product line

[@ac7384]

@@Espiritiv what’s the diff between industrial heavy duty. and commercial. They have both. And I can’t see what the diff is. Other than costing 1.00 more. ?

These are what I want to put in my house.

Only down side is you have to use medium plates or cut the tab off the top and bottom

[@picknponies]

Doesn't look like lighted cover plates will work wit them?

[@TheJacks]

Normal plates should work I'm not sure about the lighted ones

[@dansanger5340]

As a landlord, I love it. Only in Decora, or do they come in variations compatible with traditional plates?

[@TheJacks]

Yeah for now it's only decorah there is another company called Hubble who makes them in regular but they're 12 bucks a piece

[@dansanger5340]

@@TheJacks Thanks. Might be worth changing plates as I replace outlets.

[@leecampbell5232]

BUT , do these pass currents comparable to the standard variety , where wiring is installed correctly under screw heads ? It would be interesting to see the results of 100 % current passing tests , AND notice the contact temperature between the wire and the receptacle ports !

[@TheJacks]

Actually they do according to leviton, the connections are the same they're just not external

[@FallLineJP]

If they’re listed for 12awg I’m sure they’re fine

[@leecampbell5232]

@@TheJacks Are there any testing results that can be displayed for reference ? I don't install ANY receptacles that don't have testing results available . Also , what grade are they , residential or commercial ?
