Can this be used in an old fashioned 2 hole outlet?

No, it cannot. You have to check with wherever you buy these if they will fit an old 2 hole outlet, some do.

I would not recommend doing so. Removing the grounding prong can result in an electrical hazard.

Not sure I understand your question. The BACK side of this unit plugs into a regular/standard grounded, three prong outlet. This just makes your regular out have two more plugs and they will rotate to accommodate some transformers.

I don't see why not.. I've never tried it that way.. My electrical outlets utilize only one center screw to hold its protective wall cover..

Yes...however if your current outlet plate is oversized you may have problems. I had difficulty getting the outlet into the box in the wall because it is quite deep, so make sure you have plenty of depth for it. We really like this outlet...saves space on the counter by allowing 2 regular plugs plus 2 USB plugs. I really like that it turns off the inverter while a usb cable is not pugged in. Just remember where you put your adapter that you took off your USB plug, just in case you need it to travel or something. Hope this helps.

The short answer is "no" since it isn't designed for that. There are no holes to screw through it into the wall. If you already have a wall plug that is nearby, your best bet would be to get a replacement outlet that increases the number of plugs available. Although you could surely find some means for attaching this to a wall, I would not recommend it because of possible safety issues.

Yes you can. I also found a converter, so it will plug into an older two-prong opening. I stay in a lot of older hotels, so I need the flexibility.

On the back side there is one 3-prong plug, so it would not fit into a 2-prong (non-grounded) outlet.

To my understanding, if you have a converter you should be able to use it. It comes with an American style plug so you need the converter to fit your outlet.

That would not be a problem. I would make sure it is in a weather proof box for the outlet.

If your speaking of a home wall socket,no it cannot.this is for 12 volt only

I don't see why not. It's just a little adapter cord that has a 2 prong male side, and a three hole female side. I use it for my laptop charger because the outlet in my kitchen is old and only has 2 holes.

I am not the most reliable helper. My suggestion: take off the screw from a comparable outlet and check if it fits the other outlet. In Hawaii, all the outlets use the same size screw. Good Luck! Ken A

Nope! The plug is a normal one and you should be able to use it in any outlet.

I do believe the adapter and the plug will both fit inside the outlet cover. They have 2in depth of space on the inside.

It would likely be a tight fit. The opening for the plug is about 2.5 inches, and the outlet is centered in the opening. Depending on how flexible the cord is, you might get away with it.

I don't think so. I don't use it that way. I've seen converter plugs that turn 3prong into 2prong. I think this plug doesn't have room on the back to user 2 converters.

Yes. Standard one for this type of outlet. Any GFI rectangular style would fit if you want to change it out.

I haven't actually tried, but I don't see why not. It converts it to work the same as your house outlet.
