@bobspets1 - Yes - they fit but - here’s the problem - if you put a 20 amp outlet in place of a 15 amp outlet you are contravening the electrical codes.-
WHY?
- because - now you can now plug a 20 amp device into that outlet
- and unless the wiring is also upgraded to 20 amp - it contravenes code
- SHORT STORY - it is a very real fire risk
- the insurance company would deny any claims
If you want to buy a better outlet then look for a Hospital Grade or MRI grade outlet - they clamp down on the plug for a better connection
e.g. - Hubbell 8200HW Hospital Grade Outlet Cryo Treated - Hubbell Cryo Treated 15A/20A Wall Outlets - (takefiveaudio.com)
I have used these for years as wall utlets and in my power distribution box and they work extremely well.
