Replacing 2-Prong Receptacles

by RichardandPeg <beezoboar@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 3, 2007 at 07:20 PM

I hope this isn't too dumb...

I am replacing some old 2 prong receptacles with new 3 prong ones.
Still only the old two conductors-hot and neutral- in the box.  At
least I don't have to run all over the house searching for an adaptor
when I want to plug something in.

Am I better off to leave the green earth ground terminal empty or
should I run a piece of bare wire from the neutral to it?
