I want to replace a standard 5 wire receptacle with a GFCI. I purchased a GFCI receptacle. It has a yellow sticker wrapped around the at the top two terminal and says not use it. How do I wire this?

 

By five wires...... do you mean two whites, two blacks and a ground ?

 

Not really any such thing. You don't count the ground wire Or does it say:


Connect the wires of the cable to the next receptacle if you want it to be GFCI protected to the terminals with the tape. The line cable, the one that reads 120 volts black to white goes to the line terminals. (Note: you can not use a non contact tester to determine which cable is hot.)

Terminology note: Receptacles don't have a top or bottom. They can be ground on top or bottom or to the left or to the right.

 

Apologize for not explaining clearly.. Yes. 2 white, 2 black and a Neural in the existing outlet which I want to change to a GFCI. Yes the picture you show above is what it says. Also I do not want the next receptacle to be GFCI protected.

 

Wire nut all black with about 6 inch extra piece of wire to go to plug, do this with white and ground and connect to gfci side of outlet.

 

Although Pugsi's method is the preferred method of connection you can also connect two wires at each screw location. The yellow tape covering the second set of screw terminals gets left in place.

 

I think you meant to write 'ground' instead of 'neutral,' right?

 

PJ's picture should have a wire nut on the two grounds.

The bare is not a neutral. It is the ground.

 

Yes I meant Ground
Thanks you all for the help. Will wire per the above suggestions
