Can I plug a two-prong adaptor into this and then a three-pronged appliance into the outer adaptor?

Yes. I have this adaptor plugged into top receptacle. And, regular laptop 3-pronged power supply connected to lower plug. Though I did not find an issue yet, some poorly designed flat 3-prong plus may not fit in.

You might be able to do that, but it won't be safe. Three-pronged appliances need to be grounded for safety reasons (electric shock hazard), but in your setup the appliance will not be grounded. You can get on of these:GE 52149 Handy Switch Grounded Whiteor one of these:TRIPLE PLUG IN CORD SWITCH WITH SAFETY REMINDER LIGHT

You can do this however you need to be able to ground the green wire that comes off your adapter. You can usually make this ground on the screw that holds your decorative wall cover plate.

Unfortunately, no. I would recommend adding a multi-outlet adapter if you need more.

Be aware that that outlets are only 2-pronged. Most appliances are 3-pronged. You will need a converter if your appliance is 3-pronged. I believe there's a similar cart available in black.

Hi- not unless you cut off the ground prong. But I don't know if the unit would supply power to anything if it is not connected to ground- that's a question the manufacturer would need to answer. If it did, you could then plug in multiple appliances. You might search for one that's designed for 2 prongs- I think I saw a couple when I was looking for this one. Good luck-

I don't think so. I don't use it that way. I've seen converter plugs that turn 3prong into 2prong. I think this plug doesn't have room on the back to user 2 converters.

No, you need 2 different adapters (which is how mine is set up) unfortunately.

I believe any two prong plug will work in a 3 prong receptor, just not the other way around, i.e., a three prong plug will obviously not work in a 2 prong receptor. The third prong is merely a ground. So it's up to you if you feel it's safe.

We think you need 2 Prong to 3 Prong Grounding Adapter, Amazon ASIN # B003XDF2H2 "Grounding Adaptor - 2 Pack"

Yes, a three-prongU.S.A. plug will fit, but you should pack an adaptor with the ground on it just incase your device doesn't fit well

You should be able to buy one with 3 to 1 prongs, if not make one yourself split and and add a third prong. Hope that helped.

It's like most adapters, I put it at the end but I still loose the one next to it(it covers the ground hole slightly). I guess if you had a two prong cord that was thin, you could probably still plug it in, haven't tried that one yet. My strip has all three prong cords in it.

You would be better off the changing the two(2)prong outlet for a three(3)prong.for ground protection.And for a two or three dollars investment,you will be safe

Sure, the third prong is optional. Mine is in use with a two pronged lamp and it works great.

yes, it has both 2 prong and 3 prong sockets on the same unit. So assuming the current & power draw is within limits, you might be able to put two pieces of equipment on the same unit if needed..

Hi David, unlike your house I do have 3 pronged outlets. I know you could get the juice to flow by uasing a 2 into 3 prong converter (mostly gray in color) and are cheap to purchase....BUT I AM NOT sure about the surge protection working, I would call Belkin....

I too am confused by the question. In the US, adapters are generally used to adapt two prong female (US) to three prong female (with the ground prong). So, maybe the answer is that you do not need a "adapter" (not really a true converter) at all, as you can plug in either a 3 prong male plug or a 2 prong male plug into this device (if within power limits).

It doesn't fit into a two prong outlets. You have to upgrade your two prong outlets to a three prong outlets.
