ABSTRACT:
A do-it-yourself, handy man kit for modifying a home duplex ground fault interrupter unit for insertion into a home duplex wall outlet electrical system. The kit includes an open top plastic housing, a set of blades and a ground prong, and two connecting mounting screws for securing together the modified ground fault interrupter unit and the home duplex wall outlet. A set of apertures in the housing bottom wall receive the blades and ground prong mounted on the ground fault interrupter unit for insertion into the wall outlet. The two connecting mounting screws are mountably projected through external indented channels on end walls of the housing secured to aligned tabs of the ground fault interrupter unit and the wall outlet. The kit overcomes the deficiencies experienced with prior systems in securing the ground fault interrupter to the duplex wall outlet.
