Metodi ta' Wajers:
The Leviton T5820-W outlet supports Quickwire terminations and traditional side wiring. Always ensure connections are secure.
Quickwire Termination:
For Quickwire terminations, only 14-gauge solid copper wire is permitted by UL standards. Insert the stripped end of the 14-gauge solid copper wire into the Quickwire hole until it is firmly seated.
Wajers tal-ġenb:
For larger than 14-gauge wire or stranded wire, use the side wiring method. Wrap the stripped end of the wire clockwise around the appropriate terminal screw (brass for hot, silver for neutral, green for ground) and tighten the screw securely.
Wajers ta' wara:
If available on your specific model, back wiring involves inserting the stripped wire into a hole next to the screw and tightening the screw to clamp the wire. This method is also suitable for larger gauge or stranded wires.
