Where do you buy Hubbell wall socket?


Can't afford the Wattagate 381 so settling for the hospital grade Hubbell in the 20 amp wall socket (model number 8300-I). Where can you point me to the cheapest online seller? Thanks

You guys are right about the wiring. I apologize, it was late last night and I was in a hurry. The most important thing is that the wires go on the new receptacle the same way they came off the old. The hot (black) could be red, blue or some other color. Just match the colors. Thanks, Doug
What recommendations do you have for a building built in 1916 with old wiring (20's?40's?50's?) and no ground in any outlets. Is it worth using when of these outlets in place of the standard home outlet? Thanks.
Phild Most old wiring from the 20-40's is probably insulated with asbestos and is 16 gauge or 14 if you're real lucky. You are right, typically they were hot and neutral with no ground. You wouldn't happen to have those old glass 15 amp breakers at the service panel? An old trick to keep them from doing their job was to place a penny at the point of contact so the fuse wouldn't blow. I would double check, have seen this often in old homes and is a fire waiting to happen especially if the circuit is overloaded. That wire will get HOT!! I would consider upgrading your electrical service if you own the house. At least for the audio. With the current demands of a high end audio system, running too many components on one circuit is not a good idea. And those old houses didn't have too many circuits, didn't need to back in those days. You also might look at the wire connected to the outlets. They may be worn down and may need to be cut back if the wire is thin at the outlet contact.
Phild, Tubegroover is on the right path. Bottom line is, if your panel does not have breakers you should call an eletrician.
