| A clock outlet is shown in Figure 2-6. By using a clock outlet, the entire cord is hidden from sight.
Figure 2-6. Clock outlet Waterproof covers may be installed over standard switches and receptacles (Figure 2-7).
Figure 2-7. Waterproof covers A combination 250/125-volt receptacle is used when two voltages are required in a single outlet. This type of outlet is handy when an air conditioner and a lamp are needed at the same time. This type outlet would be powered by two different circuits (Figure 2-8).
Figure 2-8. Combination 250/125-volt receptacle Figure 2-9 shows single-outlet receptacles. Keep the different terminal shapes in mind before trying to plug in equipment. NOTE: The shape and position of the terminal holes are indicators of the voltage and amperage rating of the device.
Figure 2-9. Single-outlet receptacles Locking plugs and outlets are used in heavy-duty equipment installations. The curved prongs are inserted into the curved terminals, and the plug is twisted to lock ( Figure 2-10).
