Орнотуу жана орнотуу
Before beginning installation, ensure you have the necessary tools, including a screwdriver, wire strippers, and electrical tape. Confirm that the power to the circuit is OFF at the main service panel.
1. Wiring the Outlet
The Leviton T5325-T outlet supports both Quickwire™ terminations and traditional screw terminal wiring. Always refer to the device's markings for specific wire gauge compatibility.
- Quickwire™ Terminations: These are suitable for 14-gauge solid copper wire ONLY. Strip approximately 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of insulation from the wire. Insert the stripped end firmly into the Quickwire™ hole until it clicks into place.
- Screw Terminals (Side Wiring): For larger gauge wires (e.g., 12-gauge) or stranded wire, use the screw terminals. Form a hook at the end of the stripped wire (approximately 3/4 inch or 19 mm stripped) and loop it clockwise around the terminal screw. Tighten the screw securely.
- Connect the hot (black) wire to the brass-colored screw, the neutral (white) wire to the silver-colored screw, and the ground (green or bare copper) wire to the green ground screw.
