The Truth About 2-3 Prong Adapter and Outlet Safety

Posted by Stephanie Junek on Mar 01, 2019

2-3 prong adapters will come with a small metal grounding prong attached to them. The prong is a square shaped piece of metal with a circle in the middle. This grounding prong is attached so you can connect your adapter to the grounding source. All you do is install the outlet cover plate screw through the hole in the metal ground pin and your adapter will become grounded.
