I have a situation in an old house where some ungrounded outlets have worn out and need to be replaced. Running a ground or new feed wire is not an option.
What is the protocol here? Are old style 2 blade outlets still available for replacement purposes. I suspect that installing a 3 prong outlet without a ground wire will not conform to code. I ran across one where the installer bridged the neutral and ground screws --- I know that is bogus.
Thanks for any replies
