Hubbell 5362 Backwire vs Sidewire
I'm about to install 2 Hubbell 5362 duplex receptacles on dedicated 20A lines. The 5362 allows for back wiring using plates to secure the wire, or side wiring where you loop the wire around the screw. Just curious what method others have done. I'm likely going to side wire as it seems more secure and less likely to loosen over time.
