Should An Outlet Be Installed Ground Down Or Up

Подробнее о видео

Recommended Old Work Box (Different than used in the video):

You might have noticed over the years some receptacles (outlets) are installed with the ground down and others with the ground up. Sometimes this changes from room-to-room or home-to-home. The question is what way is correct? Is there a code that gives guidance? Is one way safer than another? Are there any drawbacks I should be aware of when picking during install?

I will answer all of these questions in this video and don't forget to provide your feedback/vote on which way you prefer.
