I saw these Leviton Decora Edge outlets online the other day and they caught my eye as I haven’t seen anything like them from any of the other major brands. I am a big fan of WAGO 221 lever nuts and these Decora outlets seem to basically have WAGO lever nut capability built into the outlet which seemed promising. Below are the different sections of the video so you can jump around the parts that interest you the most.

  2. These look amazing. 30 bucks a receptacle gonna cost a fortune to redo the whole house but they're nice.

  4. Great idea! I recently started using wagos after seeing your videos about them …I'm loving them. Thanks for all the great content!

  5. A detail question… The original outlet had two hot and two neutral connections, and one ground connections (assuming the two ground wires of the two Romex cables were wire nutted together with a ground pigtail going to then outlet). Is that correct? Was that a non pigtail methodology for connecting the up stream, down stream, and outlet hot/neutral connections versus a pigtail junction using a wire nuts or Wagos?

  6. Good idea. In practical terms, I'd get commercial grade still for my own home, but I hope over time it'll replace speed wiring. The tabs do make it better for fast installs, and I really don't get why a $1 premium is even a cause for hesitation if it's faster and safer. If you're building a home, would you pay $50 more for all the outlets in your home to be safer?

  8. Hmm, similar to Wagos, neat. One possible issue I see is that a standard receptacle has a tab between the wires that can be broken off to separate the top & bottom receptacle so that 1/2 of it can be switched. Does this receptacle have that option?

  9. I like the idea but wish it was closer to commercial grade. I don't know if there is enough there to make me want to pay the premium for a couple of them but if I was installing say 50 of them, the extra 50 bucks is probably worth the time savings on a new installation. In that regard, I wouldn't rule them out.

  10. Where is the center ground conductor on the new style outlet? It looks just like an empty void.

  11. I hate all residential grade outlets. I prefer Federal Specification Grade outlets which have heavy duty contacts and the straight wire into screw clamping plate terminals. If these become available in a Federal Spec Grade outlet, then I will give them a try. I have never had to replace a Fed Spec Grade switch or outlet in residential service.

  12. A good idea. Considering the price of labor, I think these will take off. I personally would love to see this concept offered in a commercial grade receptacle. Good video, thank you.

  15. Great idea, looks like there is a bit more room between the 2 double outlets. This helps when using larger style plugs.
