AC polarity


AC plugs have a wide blade and narrow blade, plus middle ground contact. Should AC hot(black) got to the wide blade recptacle contact or narrow? I want to check my AC for improper conection, which may also cause circuitous grounding.

Whose new electrical codes, I wonder? Sounds kind of silly. Maybe we should change the plumbing code to require that a shower head be placed no higher than 3 feet from the bottom of the tub because of the remote possibility that some fool will get hot water in his eyes upon entering the shower. Don't even get me started on those enviro-nazi low-flow toilets! ;-)

Here's an interesting twist. In my house, only the outlets that are controlled by a wall switch are mounted up side down so you know immediately which ones they are.
