A loose outlet pushes in every time you insert a plug. Often it happens because the cutout around the outlet box is too big. When the drywall is taped,doudoune moncler pas cher (http://www.doudoumonclerquincy.com/), gaps around the electrical boxes are filled with mud,polo ralph lauren (http://www.poloralphlaurenvendres.com), which supports the outlet ears. In a heavily used outlet,moncler quincy (http://www.doudoumonclerquincy.com/), this mud breaks loose,polo ralph lauren pas cher (http://www.poloralphlaurenvendres.com), leaving the outlet ears unsupported. Eventually the cover plate cracks. A scrap of 12- or 14-gauge electrical wire and a few common tools are all you’ll need to lock that outlet down tighter than a pit bull’s jaws.
Start by shutting off the power to the outlet (Photo 1). Photos 2 and 3 show how to convert scrap electrical wire into a coiled spacer,nike air jordan (http://www.airjordanchaussure.com), which will bridge the gap between the outlet and the electrical box. Once the spacer is completed,air jordan (http://www.airjordanchaussure.com), install it between the outlet and electrical box as shown in Photo 4. Note: If the face of the box isn’t flush with a wood or combustible-material wall, or the box is more than 1/4 in. behind a drywall wall,ralph lauren pas cher (http://www.poloralphlaurenvendres.com), you must add a box extender (50¢).
1. Turn off the power at the main panel and remove the broken cover plate. The drywall is often broken behind the outlet ears,abercrombie & fitch (http://www.abercrombieandfitchomagasin.com/), leaving them unsupported.
CAUTION:
Shut off the power at the main panel.
2. Strip the exterior sheathing off a 12-in. scrap of 12- or 14-gauge electrical cable and remove one of the individual wires. Twist the wire into a tight coil with a needle-nose pliers.
3. Press the coiled end tight to the outlet-mounting screw hole. Snip the coil so it extends just past the wall; the insulation will compress slightly when tightened.
4. Slide the coil spacer over the outlet-mounting screw. Screw the outlet down until the outlet ears are flush to the wall.
