Many times I have stated (Usually in electric heater threads) that I do not trust those Quick-Box type outlets (The kind shown in the original post.
NOW you can see, with your own eyes, WHY.
For electric heaters I have a pair of special outlets.. Let me tell you what is different about 'em
1: They are standard Resigential type, in a box, not the "Quick Box" version
2: THey are fed with 12ga, not 14ga
3: They are 15/20 amp outlets (T-Shaped neutral)
4: Each has a circuit breaker all to itself, NOTHING else on the circuit
4b: One of them it's a 20 amp (Since that's the rating) The other 15 (Ran out of 20's)
I am about to install an 2nd Kitchen Circuit.. This will be two 15/20 amp outlets (one GFCI the other chained off it) fed with 12ga off a dedicated breaker as well.
