Regular electric receptacle question

10. You can still get receptacles without grounds

Many people replace old receptacles that don't have grounds with new receptacles with grounds, but this won't meet code since the ground connection has no ground wire to connect to it.

But you can still get the older style receptacles without grounds, with screw terminals or with both screw and push in connections.

It's also possible to install a GFCI outlet that does have a ground connection to give you some protection against shorts, but you must apply a sticker that says "No Equipment Ground" to indicate that the ground connection is not connected.
