I am replacing an older outlet. I have two black, two white and a red. They had 2 white and 2 black around the screws then inserted the red in the back (through the small hole directly in the back of outlet). My new outlet doesn't except the red. Could I piggy the two blacks together then the red would go on a screw?
Please advise.
Thanks.
**Update**
I tried the two blacks with a pig tail, that worked. So I have whites on one side, pig tailed the blacks to bottom screw and red to top. Seems to work but would like someone to let me know.
Please advise.
