Yes you can find cheap plastic ones in Home Depot, Lowes, and Ace.......just don't buy the Cooper branded ones...they are the worst.....the one above looks to be made of porcelain

I think Leviton still makes these but most of their newer stuff is now Chinese made. Love the quality that all electric manufacturers ( such as Arrow-Hart, Hubbell, Bryant, etc.) that put into their wiring device products especially those made before 1950. Very Happy

Yes Leviton does still make them....they actually seem better quality than the Cooper ones though

I think Leviton socket adapters are better built than the ones made by Cooper and P&S too.

Hi I have loads of old US holders etc and sockets from other countries would they be welcome here, plus UK stuff?
