The self grounding ones have that extra brass tab or 2 wires where the screw attaches through the yoke. (refer to pic link in my above post) Most outlets especially in residential are not that type. Thats only why i was pointing out the difference.
Had the pleasure of doing electrical work in NY state several times. Whole different animal out there. You hire a private inspecting company instead of a town or city inspector. Licensing was very different if i am remembering correctly also.
John thanks! I was going to try and describe it but i found that pic instead. Much easier to understand with the visual.
Ugly, i have always prefered to make the hook around the screw terminals my self. Never did trust the stab in style. The exception i make is the kind there you loosen the screw, stick the wire in and then tighten.
You do need 2 20 amps circuits in the kitchen though.
Had the exact opposite problem with bonding the gas main in a commercial building once. We did it, the inspector saw it and compliment is for following the new code change, but then said to remove it because the gas inspector would not pass it!
Ac cable known as bx, greenfield or FMC or flex, and Mc cable. Gets confusing sometimes!
Good so see some other electricians on the board.
