Thanx for providing such detailed information. I guess it won't matter whether I use ground connections or not. More dumb questions, is it necessary to use nylon screws for on-wall installation? Is the washer also made of nylon? Will an IG outlet make a difference?I also have one DIY'd Bell 5324 single gang box made of aluminum with a Marinco/Leviton outlet installed inside. How about the screw which tightens the outlet cover? Does it need to be nylon or brass?
And there's a debate with outlet covers, too. Should I replace my steel ones with brass or nylon? Some salesman told me steel covers would sound better than nylon, brass would sound better than steel, and aluminum is better than brass. Go figure. I hope I'm not alone in this outlet material madness.
