Wiring a GFCI outlet

ChrisD24
12 years ago

I replaced a receptacle in one of my bathrooms which was just a standard outlet. There were two sets of wires - the line from the breaker box was one set of wires and the other set feeds the living room outlets. To make it so that if the outlet in the bathroom is tripped and won't shut off the outlets in the living room, I put both sets of wires on the "to breaker" side. I tested it with a GFCI tester and it trips properly and keeps the other outlets live in the living room live - which is what I wanted.

My question is is this fine or not?
