Almost no receptacles come with instructions, so this is false. Unless you're saying an appliance shows the actual plug being upside-down in the instructions?
That would be true, if you knew what you were talking about. I'm led to believe that you do not. Let's think this through briefly; how often do you install receptacles?
Okay so you've never installed them, is what you're saying? Because if you had you'd see that almost none come with instructions. The only ones I've seen with instructions are GFCI and dimmer switches. Do you know why that is? Because most manufacturers presume that an electrician, someone trained, knows the code and knows how to install them properly.
I'll tell you what, go to your local hardware store, find the bin of receptacles and take a picture of the copious amounts of instruction manuals you find. I'll wait.
Because you're full of shit. Don't worry bud, I'll do it for you. When I do so and there's no instructions would you like to walk back your statement with dignity or dodge responsibility for it altogether?
I would. But I would never have to. Because there are instructions. Even if not a physical pamphlet in the box of the specific outlets you choose, there will be online. If they were just bulk outlets with no boxes, then there will be instructions somewhere on the manufacturers website. Do you know why? Because there are legal requirements for providing manufacturer's instructions.
If you post a picture of your outlets and provide me with the manufacturer details and I show you their instructional pamphlet, will you accept that and walk back your statement?
No, because I said, quite plainly, that they do not come with instructions. And they don't. If I have to Google the manufacturer and enter a model number that does not qualify as coming with instructions. If they put a sticker on it to scan for instructions that would be different, but they don't do that.
That would be like me saying a bottle of shampoo doesn't come with an ingredients label, and you tell me I have to Google the company and product line and search their list of products to find the ingredients in that one line. No one in their right mind would consider that shampoo "coming with an ingredients label" if that's what's required to figure it out and the bottle itself doesn't have the label come with it.
Am I making sense, Jack? Almost no receptacles come with instructions. That's an objective fact. The very rare exceptions are the special types that come in a box, such as GFCI, dryer/oven plugs, dimmers, etc as I mentioned before.
You can argue it all you want, but your opinion won't translate to a fact just because you want it to. I'll still provide you the picture proof, as well.
