Subject - Stumped on simple wiring
FLHelman I apologize if this has been covered before. I picked up a plug to add to an extension cord. The plug has 3 screws to wind the wire around, however, there is a 'U' channel around the screw and I cannot get the wire threaded around the screw. Is it all right to put it down one side of the screw or is there some secret to getting it around the screw?

Thanks,
Linda
JimmyDee They are constructed that way to facilitate installing the wire under one side of the screw. I do loop around the screw at times but is not necessary.
