To handle the USB outlet, your junction will need to have a thickness of at least 3 inches. If your junction is the correct size than you can follow the steps below, otherwise you will have to install a bigger junction box and go through the process of dry walling which may not be worth the effort to most people.
- Find an outlet you want to replace. Make sure this outlet is not a GFCI outlet with a button as the USB outlets are not compatible with these.
- Cut off the room’s (or at least the sockets power supply) using your home’s circuit breaker.
- Unscrew the existing outlet plate.
- Unscrew the outlet from the junction box
- Take a picture of how the socket is wired or draw a diagram.
6. Remove the power wires from the current outlet.
7. If you have more than one neutral wire terminal then you will have to combine the two wires into one since the USB outlet only has one junction for the neutral terminal.
9. Push back the wires and screw the new outlet into the junction box.
10. Before screwing the wall plate on, make sure the wiring is done right by turning on the power and seeing if the indicator goes on.
11. Once the wiring is fixed, turn the power off and screw in the wall plate.
12. Clean up and turn the power back on.
The USB wall outlet has enough power to charge even and iPad and is the perfect solution to all your power/charging needs.
