So you're really supposed to stick the plastic peg on the back into the grounding hole in the lower outlet?

I have mine plugged into the upper socket and have not pushed plastic on bottom into lower socket. If having it there disturbs you I would just plug into lower socket and not worry about it. Have had several surges here lately and the 3 types of protectors I bought from Amazon all worked well. It truly is a good product you purchased.

Yes. Connections made to bottom set of metal prongs. Top ones are plastic, for alignment only. This assumes the usual household installation of the wall socket where ground pin is at the bottom. In commercial installations, the wall socket is often inverted so the ground pin is at the top.

It plugs into the top socket and has a plastic pin the plugs into the ground hole of the bottom socket.

As mentioned by others, drive in a ground rod and hook it to the negative terminal. We used a length of 1/2" hard copper tubing as the ground rod and used a commercial ground clamp to hook the wire to. Our ground rod is only driven in to a depth of 12" in clay soil and works fine. We anchor the positive wire to raised vegetable beds with plastic insulators purchased at a feed store. We have watched groundhogs do backflips when the wire was touched. Caution: Any leaves touched by the wire will be fried and continued contact will tend to shorten battery life. Also, be sure the light blinks when the unit is turned on.

No, It is fixed in the plastic housing. It hung straight down on my camper. If it's wrong on yours turn the receptacle in the box. Fred

Yes, exactly, that hole in the center above the green LED is so you can screw the unit into the outlet.

Hello, there is only one 3-prong plug on the back of the GE Grounded Adapter-Spaced Six-Outlet Tap. There is a small plastic supporting prong that pokes out below the 3-prong plug on the back that would go into the second outlet.

it is connected directly to the outlet , but id has to be upright while charging which is a pain because all of my outlets go the other way

No, I have one plugged into the top outlet and am still able to plug something else in on the bottom one

Assuming you put it in the bottom outlet you still have space for a regular plug to be used on top.

bottom only- and it will only fit in bottom of double wall outlet due to a plastic stud that fits in the top ground hole of double wall outlet

No, I have it plugged in on the top (upside down) so the cables come in that direction. The bottom outlet is open and being used.

I did with no problem but it has to have a solid bottom. Also, we had to cut a small hole into the bottom because there was no way to sneak the plug out and you want that out of the way.

Yes, the other outlet is left open for another grounded plug. The prongs on back mirror the slots on the front as far as placement is concerned, although stacking modules isn't advised.

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!
