Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Back-inserted wires are not to code. Where did you hear this? You need 6 inches of slack, wrap the individual wires around the terminals and wrap with electrical tape.
Exactly. I never use the wire push-in, they simply are not safe. I too wrap once over the screw terminals even when I'm installing plastic boxes, over kill?, yes but I do it all the same.
Quoted from Kneissl:Why do plugs have them if it's not to code anywhere in the US, and likely North America. What the heck. I never used em, but seems like A recipe for sparks.
Wires will pull free with little effort in most cases.
