Using a splitter to use a washer and dryer on this outlet?
Home Improvement Asked on November 26, 2020
I currently have 2 of these single outlets in my laundry room. I just had a tankless gas water heater installed that uses one of these plugs and I am currently left with just one plug for the washer and dryer. Can I use a plug splitter? I am electrically challenged… 
It is a gas dryer, not sure if I can use a simple plug splitter from Home Depot to split that plug so I can plug both the washer and dryer into it. I am in Orange County California. It was built in the 90s I think…
One Answer
What you showed us a picture of is a single receptacle. (1-socket).
They make a very similar thing, which fits in the same space in the wall, which has 2 sockets instead of 1.
You can go ahead and swap that one for the 2-socket variety. I would do it both locations so you have 4 sockets total. That way you have a spare.
This is straightforward work for a handyman. A proper electrician isn't even required.
