They give good clearance when behind a desk or furniture close to the wall. They just look odd! Does the plug have a built in swing out hanger or latching mechanism? Never seen one like that.
I am guessing it can if the shape is octagon like the top one, or similar, it's hard to tell from the angle. I think the little wire do-hickey is actually a flip out finger pull to help pull the plug out.Can another plug, just like it, be plugged in below it?
Just don't overload the outlet plugging in multiple fixed appliances. That is the whole purpose of the downward plug. Two of them can not be placed into the same receptacle.
That explains why I have seen a few residentials with the ground up. When replacing I just put them back the way they came out to just save confusion. I have seen lots of commercial grounds down.Around here Commercial construction code is ground plug up...residential is ground plug down...
