electrical outlets

Nothing would stop you from rotating the outlet, but you must have the large slot connected to the white neutral regardless, and if you are using gfi outlets in the bath area they would trip immediatly if done wrongly...

I was taught to wire outlets by a hillbilly from Kentuky after I burned up an expensive motor wiring it wrongly... He said: it is easy; 220 has three lags, and 110 has two lags... I said: Okay... What a lag??? A lag, a lag, he said; pointing to his leg... In Michigan, most of us have legs..

There is no problem rotating the outlet so that the neutral (large slot) is on the right and the round ground slot is on the top. Just ensure that the live wire is on the small slot and the neutral on the right. That is black on the small and white on the big.

You can easily do what you want to do for the reason you state. My only concern might be that if the night light is over the sink, you might have water splash up into it.

You can actually purchase items now that have a swivel plug so you can do what you want without reversing the outlet.

This is one of those "Only The US Exists" threads.

I suppose then that Intrepid doesn't exist.

I imagine it wouldn't pertain to the UK where the current runs on the left side.

It changes from left to right 50 times a second.

Why do you say that? This Canadian is curious to know.

OK, an "Only NEMA outlet countries exist"

Unless the author states otherwise, that is what they require.
