The long slot on a duplex receptacle is the neutral pin.
The symbol for a duplex receptacle in electrical schematics is typically shown as two parallel lines with a half-circle or semi-circle on top, representing the two outlets in the receptacle. It is commonly used to represent a standard electrical outlet in building plans or diagrams.
A duplex grounded receptacle is a type of electrical outlet that has two sockets, allowing two devices to be plugged in at the same time. It is grounded to help protect against electrical shocks and is commonly used in homes and commercial buildings for safe electrical connections.
No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.
The strap or yoke on a duplex grounding type receptacle is the metal component that connects the two outlets together. It serves as the common connection point for the ground wires in the receptacle to ensure proper grounding.

The types of wire you can use on duplex receptacle with pressure terminal are labeled on the receptacle, next to the holes. AWG 14 and AWG 12 are the typical wire gauges used in this application.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Yes, if it is connected with a three wire circuit such as kitchen counter receptacles. In this case both top and bottom of the duplex receptacle are dedicated circuits. An example of a duplex receptacle being the only device in the circuit from a 15 amp breaker is the receptacle for a microwave oven.

If it is a duplex receptacle then two cords is the maximum that should be connected to it.
The machine screw size that typically comes with a U-ground duplex receptacle to mount it to a 1004 box is usually 6-32 x 1/2". However, it's always best to check the manufacturer's specifications or the installation manual to confirm the exact size needed for your specific receptacle and box.
It is generally not recommended to mount a 20 amp duplex receptacle above a hung ceiling due to accessibility issues for maintenance and safety concerns. It is important for receptacles to be easily accessible for inspection, maintenance, and in case of electrical issues.
