Leviton’s Triplex Turns Two Wall Sockets into Three

three-plug-wall-socket.jpgLeviton’s ability to cram three wall sockets into the same space for two inspires more “now why didn’t I think of that?” moments. That’s what makes the Triplex outlet amazing.

Well, maybe not that amazing. After all, all Leviton did was realize that there was a lot loose space in between the standard two-socket configuration. They probably decided it was time to maximize all that space, and shuffled things around a bit.

What’s really likeable about this thing is after all, grounding provisions for all three sockets. Remember in less technologically (and perhaps legally) enlightened countries, the grounding prong is not that ubiquitous.

A perfect segue to the last point of toolmonger.com: “you should check your local codes on the number of outlets allowed on a circuit.” Prices vary from $15 to $20, but there’s sure to be a deal found on Amazon.
